Police Warning
There has been a significant increase in theft from unattended vehicles in car parks along the Grantham Canal. Most of the vehicles attacked have been parked in the small parking areas adjacent to the bridges that cross the canal. Such sites are popular with walkers and people exercising their dogs, nearly all such sites are remote and well away from habitation.
Should you be a user of these sites please take care that you do not leave any items on display in your vehicle; that it is secured when you leave it and any security devices fitted are armed and functioning.
The police would ask that if you see anything that looks suspicious, such as parked vehicles containing groups of people watching the car parks or persons hanging about for no apparent reason; that you inform the police as quickly as possible.
Supply as much detail as possible of both the vehicles and persons. Please try to including the make, model, colour and registered number of any vehicle together with accurate details of any occupants/persons present. With people please look for distinctive features, such as unusual physical characteristics or unusual clothing that makes them readily identifiable.
Your quick reactions may assist in the apprehension of those responsible or deter them from their evil intentions.
Use the 999 system if they are still present at the scene or the police switchboard number 0115 967 0999 should they have left.
You can also ring Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111 should you wish to remain anonymous
