Message from Sgt Young of Redlands Drive Police Station
There is a real risk of increased night time burglary offences in summer hot spells, properties with open windows at night being targeted. Plus also expect some 'sneak-in's' during the afternoons at properties where back doors are left open by people in other parts of the house - watch out for strangers in driveways and gardens without good reason, and call the police if in any doubt.

Here is a scam that is being used by thieves. It is complicated but very plausible.

Keys are stolen from pockets, handbags etc in supermarkets. By the time you realise they have gone the thief has looked at the make of car on the key and gone around the car park clicking the key fob and hopefully finding the matching vehicle. If they are really lucky and you have a sat nav, even if hidden away in the glove box, they set it up and from it see where your home address is.

If they are very lucky they can go to your home and find nobody in. They may not even have to break in as, again with luck on their side, your house key will be on the same set of keys. They hope they have quite a while before you have sorted out a lift home. Even your neighbours will not be suspicious because, after all, it is your car that will be sat on your drive.

The advice is never to set your sat nav to your home address. Set it up to the nearest Police Station!
