Thefts from vehicles on the rise, Springfield

Springfield police have encountered a spike in thefts from motor vehicles, particularly in the suburbs of Augustine Heights and Brookwater. In nearly every instance, the vehicle has been unlocked and opportunistic criminals are taking advantage of this lapse in security.
Your local police recommend doing the following:

Always lock your vehicle – regardless of the amount of time it is unattended;
At night, if secure or off street parking not available, park in a well lit area;
Do not leave valuables visible to passers by;
Utilise security cameras if possible;
Do not keep house keys, garage remotes or spare car keys in easy located locations in the vehicle; and
Obtain anti-theft screws to protect your registration plates.

By taking these simple precautions you significantly reduce the chances of having your belongings (or vehicle) being stolen.

Police advise that residents should secure their homes and vehicles to avoid opportunistic thefts.
In the past, many vehicles have been taken while the victims were at home.
Keys, mobile phones and cash were also stolen after thieves allegedly gained entry to homes and easily located car keys in plain view.
Hiding car keys and valuables will make it difficult for offenders to steal your vehicle and other property.
Ask yourself, “where are my car keys?”
If you can, secure your car in a garage or park your vehicle inside of your yard rather than on the street. This will also assist in the prevention of number plates being stolen.
If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
You can report information about crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers, a registered charity and community volunteer organisation, by calling 1800
