Police in the Derbyshire Dales would like to bring to the attention of householders in the Ashbourne area that in recent weeks there has been an increase in burglary of houses where car keys are targeted resulting in the theft of a vehicle from outside an address. With three offences in the last month, this is only a slight increase, but householders are reminded to safeguard keys to motor vehicles, do not leave them near to insecure doors and where possible ensure that car / house keys are kept away from doors when locked – to ensure that people cannot reach through and open locks etc. Please report all suspicious activity to the Police.

Thank you.
DC894 Richard Watson, Matlock CID.
