CHARD: Police Valentine

CHARD area Neighbourhood Police teams will be sending out a crime prevention Valentine's Day card to the owners of any vehicles they identify as vulnerable during the next week.

Officers will be on the look out for vulnerable vehicles during their usual patrols and the registered keeper of these vehicles will be sent a Valentine's card with a crime reduction message: “Roses are red, violets are blue, love your gadgets? A thief does too!” and crime prevention advice.

Crime Reduction Officer Beth Poole said: "We are increasingly seeing gadgets such as e-readers,

laptops, mobile phones and sat navs left in unattended parked cars, which can be irresistible to the opportunist thief. We have also taken reports of vehicles broken into for a few CDs or even loose change.

"The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the importance of ensuring your vehicle is secure and items are not left on show. “
