The Bermuda Police Service is asking members of the public not to leave their vehicles unlocked, even for short periods of time, as we are noticing an increase in four wheeled vehicle removals. We are also encouraging the public not to leave valuables inside the vehicle in plain sight, as this may lead to a crime of opportunity. Lessen your chances of becoming a victim by securing your vehicle after parking it.
