Police from the Inner West Patrol Group are warning vehicle owners and drivers that within the past few days, thieves have targeted a number of vehicles in the Auchenflower area.
The targeted vehicles have been physically broken into both during the day and night.
The targeted locations have included residential garages, communal underground carparks, driveways, carports and vehicles parked on the street.
A number of the vehicles broken into had valuable items in full view and had also been left unsecured at the time of the offence.
These factors have made it much easier for thieves to help themselves at the expense of the vehicle’s owner or driver.
Police are urging owners and drivers of vehicles to be vigilant and ensure their respective vehicles are secure at all times and not to openly display valuable and attractive items in their vehicles.
Putting it simply ‘Lock it or Lose it’.
Police have increased patrols and are conducting crime
