Police from the Inner West Patrol Group are warning trailer owners to ensure their trailers are appropriately secured, as thieves are continuing to target and steal trailers within Inner West Suburbs.
The primarily targets of these thieves continue to be unsecured box trailers, which have either been parked on the street or parked on a property, where they are visible from the street.
The thieves are simply hooking the trailers up to their vehicle and driving off.
Police are urging trailer owners make it as hard as possible for these thieves to steal their trailers by securing the trailer with either; a hitch lock, wheel clamp, lock/chain, securing them behind a locked gate or simply placing them out of sight.
These simple security measures will ultimately detour, stop and make it harder for those who wish to target and steal your valuable property.
