@WAR - Message for Teachers and Parents in South Warwickshire

SW SA Message for Teachers and Parents - vehicle crime around Southam and Stockton & Napton Schools

 

For the attention of all teachers and parents.

Please be aware that we have seen and increase in cars been broken into whilst they are left unattended by parents collecting their children from schools in the Napton and Southam areas of South Warwickshire. The targets for the thieves have been purses and handbags left on display either in the passenger foot-well or on the passenger seat. The method of entry has been to smash the passenger window.

Warwickshire police Crime Prevention Design Advisor Ian King states “ It is important that you always remove your valuables from your car even if you are only leaving it for a very short period, especially if the vehicle is going to be out of your sight. If you must leave items in the car put them out sight by locking them in the boot. I would also ask that you be aware of any suspicious activity in the area where cars are parked. If you see anything suspicious report if both to the school and to the police on telephone number 101”

 

Teachers - Please could you include this information in any School Newsletters?

 

NHW Recipients - Please could you pass on to anyone you know who has children attending schools in Southam and the surrounding area.

 

Many thanks

Julie
