Gardai have issued a warning after a number of car break-ins in Donegal.
It's after several cars were entered and searched in the Inishowen area between July 16th & 17th.
A laptop was stolen from one of the cars.
Gardai are reminding the public to be security conscious when parking their cars/vans.
Ensure that your vehicle is locked regardless of whether it is parked at home or in a public place.
Park whenever possible in a well lit up area.
Store your car keys away from windows and letterboxes.Don’t store valuables such as cash, jewellery or electronics in your car.
Sometimes it is impractical to remove tools and equipment from work vehicles. In these cases, owners should take extra steps to ensure the safety of their property:
• Additional locking mechanisms should be fitted to vehicles
• Consider a monitored vehicle alarm and tracking devices for valuable property.
• Mark and photograph the property and take a record of serial numbers, makes & models.
• Download the An Garda Síochána Property App. It will give you the facility to record the unique information associated with your property.
• Park your vehicle within CCTV view if you have a CCTV system at your home/premises.
Always report any suspicious activity to Gardaí immediately. In urgent cases dial 999 or 112.
