 Vehicle Crime

Dear residents,

Please note we have identified a rise in vehicle crime in Fairwater and the surrounding areas. Several work vans in Fairwater and the surrounding area have been broken in to over the last few days. Thieves are targeting the vans for work tools.

We understand that having your van or work vehicle stolen, broken into and contents stolen can be very distressing and a huge inconvenience. These recent incidents are being investigated. 

When you're parking your van, even for short periods of time, please think carefully about where you are stopping. Parking with the rear or side doors against a wall or very sturdy railings will help to ensure that they can't be prised open. More advice here…
