Vehicle thieves targeting popular cars in Kapiti and Porirua
Do you own a Mazda Demio or Subaru? Then watch out. Kāpiti Mana Police are warning car owners to be extra vigilant as car thieves target the popular car brands.
Police say motorists using non-monitored car parks or even simply parking outside their houses on dark streets are urged to take valuables with them when leaving their vehicles. It’s also important to make sure technology is not left attached to windscreens. Leaving these valuables in plain sight presents opportunities for thieves.
Not only are offenders stealing items from the cars, sometimes they are breaking in to steal your whole car. Offenders will often target a number of cars in close proximity which causes a spike in car crime in those areas. Often when vehicles are stolen they are used to commit further offences such as burglaries and aggravated robberies.
Police would like to hear from anyone who may have information to assist police in relation to car thefts. Any suspicious activity can be reported to the Kapiti Police Station on (04) 296 6800 or the Porirua Police Station on (04) 238 1400 during business hours.
If you see something you think is suspicious or out of the ordinary and you can see it happening at any time – dial 111
