A NEW booklet has been launched to help motorists keep their cars and their contents safe in the run-up to Christmas.
Produced by Vauxhall, the booklet called "The best 20 car crime prevention tips" includes these pointers for ensuring a happy and crime-free festive season:
Choose a well-lit busy car park - especially where you see a 'Secured Car Park' plaque
Store possessions in the boot or glovebox before a journey - as criminals may hide and watch to see if any valuables are concealed before the car is left unattended
Leave nothing on show in the car that might attract attention.
The crime prevention tips leaflet is available free from Vauxhall dealerships.
Story date: Wednesday 24 November
