🚨 Tool Thefts – Vans Targeted Across the Area 🚨


🚨 Tool Thefts – Vans Targeted Across the Area 🚨

Between 18th and 19th April, we've received reports of work vans being broken into.
Offenders have been drilling holes into the doors to gain access and steal tools.

📍 One incident happened in the Bartestree area near Village Way.
📍 Another was reported in Sutton St Nicholas.
📍 Several more incidents have been reported across the city over the last week.

Below are some photos showing the damage caused.

Advice to help protect your van: 

🔒 Remove tools overnight where possible.
🔒 Fit additional deadlocks or steering locks.
🔒 Park close to walls or fences to block access to doors.
🔒 Install an alarm system and CCTV if you can.
🔒 Mark your tools and register them.

If you see anything suspicious, report it immediately.
