Hello all,

We have identified a rise in vehicle thefts in the Cardiff area, particularly where the keys have been left in the vehicle.

Please remember to remove your keys whenever exiting your vehicle, especially during the colder months where you may need to de-ice your car before travelling.

No matter how short the time you are leaving your vehicle unattended, this still poses a risk, provides an opportunity for criminals and can affect your motor insurance. Please refer to our website for crime prevention advice: 

Keeping vehicles safe | Crime prevention | South Wales Police 

Do you need to speak to police, but don't need an emergency response? You can make an online report via our website Home | South Wales Police, send us a private message via Live Chat, or call 101. In an emergency always call 999.

Kind regards

Jen Alcock
