Tickhill: Police warning to check vehicles are secure
Police have warned drivers in Tickhill to always ensure their vehicles are properly secured when left overnight.
On a recent patrol as part of Operation Lockdown, officers checked more than 100 vehicles in the town and found five parked on driveways on the same road weren’t locked.
All the owners were informed, except one who couldn’t be roused and so a card was left and the central locking system activated by the officers to secure the car.

“Drivers are too ready to press a button on a key and walk away without double-checking the vehicle is locked and nothing is on display to tempt would-be thieves.”
