Theft from a Motor Vehicle

The SaferPeterborough partnership has worked closely with car parks, businesses and within residential locations to raise awareness of this crime type.

The crucial message has been to not leave valuable items on display. The result has been a massive reduction of theft from a motor vehicle in recent years.

The partnership has funded the purchase of ‘trap cars’ (cars fitted with surveillance equipment), which the police have successfully deployed to catch prolific offenders.
