In recent weeks there have been a number of vehicle thefts in Haywards Heath and surrounding villages. The majority of vehicles taken have been 4x4's and in some cases, keys had actually been left in the vehicles. Not only does this make it incredibly easy for the offenders, but the victims are likely to find that their insurance will not cover them for the theft.
We are also currently experiencing a fairly high number of shed breaks and breaks to outbuildings, particularly in rural areas. The most common items that are being stolen are high value gardening equipment and power tools.
Please make every effort to secure your vehicles and outbuildings. Shed alarms can be purchased at very little cost and are easy to operate. If you require any crime prevention advice or further tips on security, please contact your local Neighbourhood Policing Team.

‘101’ has now been adopted by every police force in England and Wales as their non- emergency number. It provides the public with one easy to remember number for contacting their local police wherever they are in the country. Calls to ‘101’ will cost 15 pence per call, no matter how long you are on the phone – this applies to both landlines and mobile phones. contact.centre@sussex.pnn.police.uk is the Police email address for reporting like messages as for 101. It does not cost anything and a reference number is given in a reply message. An advantage of using this approach is that those making the report have a record of it and the reference number that applies for any future use.
