Police are warning people to be careful after a number of vehicles were broken into last night.
The Castle Point and Rochford Community Policing Team issued the advice after incidents in Benfleet and Hadleigh last night.
The force is warning people to ensure:
- Your vehicle is fully secure and locked
- All items are removed
- The windows / sunroof are secure
- Use a signal blocking device (known as a Faraday pouch , these are relatively inexpensive online)
- Invest in physical security, such as a steering or hand brake lock
- Consider fitting a GPS / tracking device
Anyone with information should call police on 101.
