TEMPERATURE'S ARE SET TO DROP...

#CrimePrevention | Temperatures are set to drop over the coming days, which means many motorists may be waking up to frosty windscreens and needing a little extra time to get their vehicles road-ready.

While it may be tempting to start your car and leave it running to defrost, please don't leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running. 

Doing so creates an ideal opportunity for criminals, who can quickly drive off in your car while you're back inside your home.

❄️ Stay with your vehicle while it's defrosting. 

❄️ Remove all ice and condensation from windows, mirrors and lights before setting off.

❄️ Allow extra time for your journey on cold mornings.  

❄️ Keep your keys with you at all times.  

❄️ Never leave valuables on display inside your vehicle. 

❄️ Check that your screenwash is topped up and suitable for freezing temperatures.

Remember, it's not worth risking your vehicle for the sake of saving a few minutes. Take the time to defrost safely, stay with your car, and help prevent becoming a victim of vehicle theft.
