Officers from the Arun district policing teams have provided the reminder to drivers to secure their vehicles and remove any valuables from sight, in light of the recent warm weather.
The advice should be considered particularly when leaving vehicles unoccupied at beauty spots, car parks and even outside your home.

Care should also be taken to make sure all windows are closed and doors locked.
Many thefts reported recently have been from unlocked cars and vans with items left out on display.
