STAFFORDSHIRE police are urging van owners to be vigilant after a spate of thefts from vehicles in the Tamworth area.

The incidents occurred between 5.30pm on Friday 7 August and 8am on Saturday 8 August when 5 vans were broken into in Cleeve, Jowett, Sunbeam, Lindisfarne and Abbey Road. Power tools worth hundreds of pounds and personal items were stolen.

Anyone who sees or hears suspicious activity is urged to contact Staffordshire Police on 101.

Van owners are being urged to follow these simple steps to prevent them from becoming victims:

  • Don’t assume your vehicle has locked properly using a key fob lock. Criminals can use devices which block the signal. Always check your doors are locked before leaving your vehicle unattended.
  • If you have a garage, use it. If your van is parked on a driveway, consider installing security lighting. If neither of these apply; try to park in well lit areas.
  • Consider alarming the vehicle or fitting an internal security cage.
  • When tools and equipment are not being used, ensure they are kept securely in a lockable store rather than in your vehicle.
  • Consider whether the storage area can be alarmed. If the equipment is portable, take it with you.
  • Don’t leave tools in vehicles unattended or overnight, and place a sign in the window stating they have been removed.
  • Lock/immobilise vehicles and equipment when not in use.
  • Visibly mark your machinery and tools using an engraving or chemical etching kit or use a forensic marking kit. Place a sticker in your window to say you have done so - the signage alone, can be a very effective deterrent.
  • Keep a list of tools, together with serial numbers and any identifying marks.
