PCSOs visit Doncaster supermarket to provide crime prevention awareness
PCSO Dan recently visited Aldi in Wheatley, along with PCSO David to provide crime prevention awareness around how to report crime and stay safe.
Focus was preventing theft from motor vehicles, something officers are working hard to prevent, and provide frequent visible patrols to deter people from committing these crimes and how the community can prevent them.
A spokesman said: “We engaged with multiple members of the community to educate about car key signal blocking and not leaving valuables visible inside your vehicle. We also discussed personal safety and protection offering out mini key ring torches, purse bells and bank card signal protectors amongst other things.”
Secure your vehicle – remove keys from ignition and don’t leave engine running when away from your vehicle
Deter potential offenders – remove valuables such as cash and electronics from vehicles when parking
Prevent break-ins and damage – park under well lit areas and where your vehicle can be viewed at all times from your property
Stay alert and engage in reporting – use 101 and 999 if an emergency or online at https://orlo.uk/8kHLS
