Increase in Dunedin car theft
Dunedin Police are urging the public to be vigilant this Christmas season after seeing an increase in vehicle theft.
Police ask owners of vehicles, particularly Toyota Aqua and Mazda Demio owners to ensure their vehicles are locked and if possible, securely parked overnight.
Police are following strong lines of enquiry into reported vehicle thefts and are watching for vehicle crime and monitoring hotspots in the area.
Detective Sergeant Kylie Batten says, “It is upsetting and inconvenient for members of our community to be victims of incidents like this, especially heading into the busy Christmas period.”
To prevent your vehicle from being a target:
- Remove any valuables that may attract thieves.
- Park in off-street parking or a well-lit area.
- Invest in a steering lock, wheel clamp, or other theft prevention devices.
- Install cameras around your home and in your car.
“We urge members of the community to look out for each other and if you see anything suspicious happening, please contact us on 111.”
To report a theft after it has occurred, please contact 105. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
