WEEKLY PREVENTION CRIME TIP – Vehicle Safety Prevention
Crimes involving your motor vehicle are crimes of opportunity. In an attempt to prevent crimes, you want to make your vehicle less of a target. The Royal Bahamas Police Force would like to provide you with some simple tips to help you protect your vehicle and your belongings.
• Secure your vehicle by locking all doors and rolling up the windows.
• Remove all personal property such as purses and wallets.
• Do not leave your cell phone, laptop computers or jewelry in your vehicle
• Do not leave packages in your vehicle, or other items that look as if they would contain items. Criminals often figure there are valuables in the packages.
• Park in well lit areas with lots of traffic.
• At home, leave your outside lights on, or install motion lights in areas where they cannot be
defeated.
• Limit access to your vehicle keys. Keep them with you, do not loan them out to others, do not leave
them in gym lockers, etc.
• Do not leave your vehicle running or your keys in the vehicle unattended.
