Keeping your commercial vehicle safe
  • Ensure your vehicle is always locked. Lock the back doors while driving.
  • If your vehicle doesn’t have an alarm, get one fitted. Insurance companies will often give a discount for properly installed and approved alarms.
  • Never leave personal documents in the vehicle’s cab.
  • Never leave tools or equipment in your vehicle overnight.
  • Keep your van keys safe while you are working. Never leave them in your vehicle.
  • ‘High clearance’ vehicles are common targets for catalytic converter theft. Mark yours to deter thieves.
  • Security mark all your tools and equipment to make items uniquely identifiable
  • Don't buy cheap, second hand tools from a building site – they may be stolen. If you are suspicious – tell the police.
  • Keep stops for fuel, food and other goods to a minimum. The fewer stops you need to make (leaving your vehicle unattended) the more secure it will be.
  • Make sure you have fully comprehensive insurance for your vehicle. Thieves will often 'smash and grab' causing damage that is expensive to repair and may take you off the road for several days.

Drugs arrest of man at Boxhill y'day by N'hood PC Lee Munday + Matt Savage. Relentless pursuit !

https://twitter.com/MoleValleyBeat
https://www.facebook.com/MoleValleyPolice

and
A third man has been sentenced in connection with 35 incidents - including one in Leatherhead - where elderly people were accosted in the street, followed home and demanded money for work which had never been completed on their homes.
Jesse Webb, 19, of The Paddocks, Lyne Road, Virginia Water, worked alongside his brother and father, travelling far and wide, looking for older people to target.
They would stop the victims, usually close to their homes, claim they had completed roofing work on their property and had returned to collect payment for the work. Often their victims, some of whom suffered from memory impairment through dementia or Alzheimer's, would believe them. In some cases the victim would give them cash from their home or, if they didn't have cash, the gang would drive the victim to their bank and get them to withdraw large sums of money.
Upon entering the victim's house, they would also commit a distraction burglary, distracting the victim whilst the other searched the house for more cash.

The complex investigation was led by Hertfordshire Constabulary's specialist investigation team, Operation Manhunt, a unit set up to investigate distraction burglary, frauds and other crimes against the elderly.

Surrey Police: Easter Weeekend

With the Easter weekend approaching I thought it would be appropriate to remind everybody about security. 

I am not sure the weather is nice enough to have windows open yet but if you are going out for the day, or going away over the weekend please do not forget your home security.  Please check your windows and doors are shut and locked, also if you have anything which you feel may be enticing to potential thieves such as laptops, tablets, telephones, etc please put these out of sight. 

Also think about your car security.  Do not leave, SatNavs, phones or bags on view in your car.  Take valuable items with you, that way you know they are safe.  Try to park in a public place.

If you are using bicycles please ensure you lock them to something rigid such as a lamppost when out and about, and at home make sure they are locked in a garage or shed which also has a suitable lock on the outside, and cover shed windows etc.


Have a great weekend, and if you need to contact police call 101 or 999 in an emergency.
