North East Crime Reduction Officer PC Russell said ‘It sounds simple but always remember to lock your car. This is the simplest way to keep your car safe. Get into the habit of locking the car every time you leave it and ensuring your windows are closed.  Don’t just listen out for the sound of your doors locking, check for your lights flashing and/or mirrors closing.

Never leave items on show as an invitation – Mobile phones, electronic equipment, coins, sunglasses, tools, clothing, bags and any other valuables should be removed from the vehicle or placed in the boot.
