Thieves will be on the lookout this Christmas for easy targets, and Dyfed Powys Police is asking motorists not to make themselves an attractive option.
âIâm asking motorists to remember to lock up their cars,â said Inspector Neil Jones. âPlease donât leave them unlocked when unattended.
âAnd please donât leave valuables on show your vehicles. If youâre out Christmas shopping then store those presents out of sight and lock them away in the boot. Thieves will be looking out for an easy target â donât make yourself one.
âFinally think about parking in well-lit areas and avoid isolated or dimly lit areas. Following these simple steps and youâll hopefully have a merry and crime free Christmas.â
In some areas of Llanelli, officers have started the Vulnerable Vehicle Scheme. It allows officers the opportunity to look out for these vehicles and to leave a letter giving advice that valuables can be seen and to remind the owners of the need to lock vehicles and conceal valuables.
