Crime-busting Car in Crosby and Thornton

A CRIME-busting vehicle has been out on the streets of Crosby warning people about thieves.
The crime prevention car has been used by Crosby Neighbourhood Police to teach people not to leave valuables on display in their vehicles.

It is part of a Merseyside-wide initiative aimed at stopping theft from cars.

The car, which was accompanied by signs with the slogan “If it’s on show it will go” was at Burbo Bank, Crosby Village and Crosby Leisure Centre on Tuesday.

PCSOs were giving people demonstrations and offering advice on how to thwart thieves.

It will also be out and about in the village, at Aldi in Thornton and on the beach today (Thursday).

To report a crime call Crosby Police Station on 0151 777 3634 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
