Keep your vehicle safe with the following tips ...

The Team from New Zealand Police

๐Ÿš— Vehicle parked in a visible location, or off the street if possible.
๐Ÿš™ Valuables, including keys, removed from vehicle, or stored safely out of sight.
๐Ÿš— Vehicle locked & keys taken with you.
๐Ÿš™ Keys & key chains do not display names, addresses, or license plate numbers.
๐Ÿš— Number plates secured with anti-theft screws (available at car accessory stores).
๐Ÿš™ Alloy wheels secured with fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts.
๐Ÿš— Car ownership information stored at home, not in the vehicle.
๐Ÿš™ Vehicle fitted with an anti-theft device, such as a steering wheel lock or alarm.
๐Ÿš— If the vehicle is keyless, โ€˜keysโ€™ (or entry device) kept a safe distance from the car, away from doors & windows so the signal cannot be interfered with.
๐Ÿš™ Get to know neighbours & their vehicles so youโ€™ll know if you see something that doesnโ€™t seem right.

Always report suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood.

If it's already happened, phone 105 or report at 105.police.govt.nz.
If it's happening now, call 111.
