Spate of thefts from vans in Grantham

There has been a number of thefts from vans reported to police which have occurred overnight (12/05/2020 – 13/05/2020) in the Barrowby Gate area.

If you have any information in relation to this or have witnessed any suspicious activity, could you please report this on 101 and quote incident number 57 13/05/2020.

Similarly, if you live in the area and have CCTV, could you please review this and inform us if you notice anything. I would like to take this opportunity to remind residents to remain vigilant.

For those of you who do have vans, we would ask you to consider: – Removing valuable tools when the van is left overnight (we appreciate that this is difficult) –

Consider fitting a tool safe and secure it with good quality locks –

Ensure the van is locked and windows shut –

Keep possessions out of site –

Park your van close to a building or hedge –

Park in a well lit area that is covered by CCTV –

Mark the items of property/tools that are stored in the van
