With a rise in car-related crimes this week, Sussex Police has also provided residents with a checklist designed to prevent vehicle crime on parked cars.

Witnesses with information regarding any of the incidents detailed above are encouraged to contact the police online or by calling 101.

The checklist recommends residents do the following:

-Double-check your central locking has actually locked – listen for the clunk/click noise (if you’ve got keyless then look through the window to check)

-Don’t leave your car with the engine running

-Don’t leave anything of value in the car

Sussex Police have also urged residents to park in well used and brighter locations, hide their belongings when they park, research car parks before using them, protect their windows using security film and leave space between their own vehicle and other parked cars to prevent accidental damage.
