Following recent break ins to vehicles, Coolum Police are reminding residents to ensure their vehicles are locked and secured, preferably in a locked garage when possible.
Some of the incidents attended revealed the vehicles had been left unlocked outside the premises which become easy targets for opportunistic offences.
Officer in Charge (OIC) of Coolum Police Senior Sergeant Hardy Wirth suggested some security tips to help avoid thefts or break ins.
“It is best if vehicles are left locked in a secure garage with remotes removed from the vehicle and instead stored in a secure, non-visible place inside your dwelling,” OIC Police Senior Sergeant Hardy Wirth said.
“This makes it more difficult for opportunistic thieves to steal or break into your vehicles.
“We ask residents to be more vigilant and to remove all valuables from the vehicle”.
