If you have been the victim of car crime

Report it to the Police. It is important that all car crime, whether warranting an insurance claim or not, is reported to the Police. This ensures accurate records of all vehicle crimes are kept so resources can be allocated to areas or initiatives to prevent such instances occurring again.

Although we cannot be held responsible we may be able to take local action to prevent any similar offence from happening again.
