"Try not to park visitor vehicles on the street and make sure your vehicle is locked and all security devices working."

• Early morning hijackings/home invasions – be mindful when leaving home and check your surroundings. It is recommend you reverse into your driveway or garage. There was an attempted early morning hijacking on September 22 in Glenvista around 7am.
• Theft of vehicles, especially over weekends from retail or leisure destinations, is a concern especially if you are driving a high-risk vehicle such as VW Polo, Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux or Fortuner. Try not to park visitor vehicles on the street and make sure your vehicle is locked and all security devices working.
