Lock it or lose it

LOCALS are being asked to keep their vehicles locked, as a recent increase in car crime has seen numerous offences and one arrest. Euroa Police have noted a local increase in theft from motor vehicles and theft of motor vehicles where victims have left their vehicles unlocked and/or with keys in them. Police will be educating locals on the ‘Remove it, Lock it or Lose it’ strategy, which will include fliers around town with information on how to prevent vehicle thefts and property theft from vehicles. Sergeant Dempsey Willis said car owners needed to show precautions. “Our take-home message for our community is to remove valuables from your car,” Sgt Willis said. “Lock your car, secure your keys, and never leave either them or spares in the car. “Park in well-lit or secure areas and secure your number plates with anti-theft screws.” A suspect in Avenel was arrested on Monday, 7 April and taken into custody for the theft of a motor vehicle. The vehicle was towed for forensic investigation.
