Vehicle crime prevention day in Slough
The Safer Slough Partnership, (Slough Borough Council and Thames Valley Police) will be hosting a special vehicle crime roadshow this Saturday, October 13 from 10am to 4pm.
Community safety project officers and crime prevention advisors will be on hand to offer advice to Slough residents about vehicle crime at B&Q’s car park on the Bath Road.
There will be a number of freebies available, including a vehicle crime prevention pack, detailing how the public can protect themselves from becoming a victim of theft.
John Edwards, commissioner for public protection, said: “This roadshow is a great idea and will help many people understand how they can protect their property and stay safe.
“Vehicle crime is a problem all over the UK, but if we can warn and advise residents on what to do, then we can try and crack down on the thefts.
“Thames Valley Police is one of the council’s key partners, and we are always happy to work together with them on crime prevention matters.”
Nora Smith, community safety project officer at Slough Borough Council, said: “We want to make sure that as many people as possible are aware of vehicle crime.
“We organised the day to offer practical advice and support to members of the public and show them how they can reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of vehicle crime’.
Annie Tewkesbury, crime reduction advisor with Thames Valley Police, added: “We have held similar events in the past, which have proved very popular with members of the public as well as educational and fun”.
