Vehicle security is very good these days – It’s
usually the owners who are the problem!
On the Driveway
- If possible, garage your car. Many people fill their garage with junk and leave their £20,000 car on the driveway!
- Modern cars cannot be taken without the keys. Thieves will sometimes burgle houses to get them, so do not leave them lying around. Take your keys to bed!
- If you have a van, reverse it up to a wall to deter theft of its contents.
- Always remove valuables (incl portable sat navs) and lock your car – even if it’s kept in the garage. See above – a car thief told me recently that 1 in 5 cars are not locked!
Away from home
- Lock your vehicle whenever you go to pay for fuel.
- Do not leave valuable items in view, especially wallets, handbags and portable sat-navs.
HERTS POLICE are continuing to net results in
their Operation Sentinel campaign to target criminals and illegal drivers in
North Herts.
The Operation Sentinel Intercept Team, which makes use of Automatic Number
Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to identify vehicles, was out in force in
North Herts yesterday (August 12) leading to five arrests for offences
including possession of Class A drugs and making off without payment.
A 20 year old man from Letchworth was arrested on suspicion
of breaching a court order, theft from a motor vehicle, theft from a shop and
making off with a pedal cycle. He has been released on police bail until
September 26.
A 23 year old man from Letchworth came to the attention of officers after his
vehicle showed no insurance, and was arrested for immigration offences. He is
currently in police custody.
A 21 year old man from Luton was arrested on suspicion of making off from a
service station in Essex without paying. He was released with a caution.
Thirty-one year old Satinder Sekhon from Bayworth, Letchworth was arrested and
charged with shoplifting and is due to appear at Stevenage Magistrates Court on
August 26.
A 37 year old man from Letchworth was arrested on suspicion of possession of
Class A drugs and has been released on bail until September 21.
Results also included the seizure of four vehicles and seven Fixed Penalty
Notices (FPNs) issued.
About ANPR:
An ANPR camera can read a number plate every second.
ANPR is a crime reduction and investigative tool - it targets criminals who use
vehicles by reading number plates and comparing them against a variety of
databases.
Its aim is to deny criminals the ability to move freely around the county to
commit crimes
ANPR has led to the arrest of burglars, robbers and drug dealers, among others.
ANPR targets criminals, not innocent law abiding motorists.
ANPR not only reduces crime but can be used to reduce road deaths and serious
injuries on the roads by highlighting un-roadworthy vehicles – drivers without
insurance are more likely to have been involved in other crimes.
