Help us, help you – Crime Prevention Advice

Always lock your vehicle, keep windows secured and remove everything from sight (double check before walking away).

Keep your documents safe and make sure they are stored at home, not in your vehicle.

Consider installing CCTV or video doorbells that cover your driveway or parking area.

Parking in well-lit areas reduces opportunities for offenders.

Do not leave your vehicle with the engine running unattended, especially in the colder winter months.

If you have a keyless car, ensure your keys are well away from the car, put them in a signal-blocking pouch such as a faraday bag or turn off wireless signals on your fob when it is not being used.

Report any suspicious behaviour immediately; your call could prevent a crime or help us catch an offender in the act.

To report any issues, you can contact police on 101, online via https://www.gwent.police.uk or direct message on Facebook. Always contact 999 in the event of an emergency. Alternatively, you report anonymously through CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111 or via https://crimestoppers-uk.org/ to submit an online form.
