Christmas Crime Prevention
For those 
        of us who are about to start our Christmas shopping, it is important to 
        remember that thieves are beginning theirs as well
        
        Please consider the following advice when purchasing and storing your 
        Christmas presents
        
        
In 
        The Car
Try to keep 
        all property out of view, especially when parked
        Ensure that your vehicle is locked with alarm and immobiliser activated 
        where fitted
        Be particularly careful when unloading your car as we all have a tendency 
        to leave the car unlocked with the doors open as we empty it
At Home
If at all possible, do not put your presents under the tree until late on Christmas Eve
After Christmas
Try to remember not to leave the empty boxes outside your homes after Christmas – this may advertise all your new purchases. If possible, put the wrappings and boxes in bin liners or take them to the local refuse tip yourselves
