Vehicle Security

Over the past week we’ve continued engaging with residents about vehicle security following reports of suspicious activity in several neighbourhoods. As always, our aim is to work together to reduce opportunities for crime and keep our communities safe.

Here are some simple but effective steps everyone can take to help protect their vehicles:

Lock Your Vehicle

Even when parked outside your home, always ensure your vehicle is fully locked and windows are closed. Thieves often test door handles looking for easy opportunities.

👀 Remove Valuables

Please avoid leaving bags, tools, electronics or any items on display. Even small items can tempt offenders. If you must leave belongings in the vehicle, store them out of sight.

🔑 Keep Keys Secure

Do not leave keys in the vehicle, even briefly. Keyless entry owners are encouraged to use a signal‑blocking pouch to prevent relay theft.

💡 Park Safely

Try to park in well‑lit or busy areas. At home, using additional deterrents like a steering lock, driveway bollard or wheel clamp can significantly reduce the risk of theft. 

📱 Report Suspicious Activity

If you see anyone trying door handles or acting suspiciously around vehicles, please report it.
