Vehicle crime

We have had a number report of vehicle crime, in the Rochdale East Area in the past few weeks. We are asking you to ensure that your vehicles are left secure and that you take out any valuables.

The majority of this type of crime is opportunistic, and occurs because valuables have been left on view or the vehicle left insecure. If a vehicle is left insecure it only takes 10 seconds for your valuables to be stolen.
