Be vigilant for opportunistic vehicle theft and burglaries

For many of us, our vehicle is one of the biggest purchases we’ll make, so having it broken into or stolen can be very distressing, as well as inconvenient. It's therefore important that you do all you can to keep it secure. It’s also key to do the same for your home, as open windows and unlocked doors give quick and easy access to opportunistic burglars.

If you see anything that you think isn't right, or looks suspicious, note as much detail as you can and report it to police immediately on 101, always 999 in an emergency.

We’ve listed a few simple steps below which you can take to help keep your vehicle and home safe and secure:

Lock up: Develop the habit of always locking your vehicle and your home, even if you're stepping away for a brief moment. Whether refuelling or quickly retrieving something from your house, it's crucial not to overlook security. Ensure that you properly lock your vehicle, especially if it has wing mirrors that fold in automatically when locked. Criminal gangs specifically target vehicles with extended wing mirrors, as it indicates that the vehicle has been left unlocked.Keep your vehicle in a garage: If you have a garage please use it and lock it. If you have gates, ensure these are also locked. Consider using an alarm for both your garage and gates.

Keep your keys safe: House and vehicle keys/ignition fobs should be kept safe and out of sight and reach. A common way to steal a car or van is to take these, either when left in the vehicle or from your home through a burglary.

Two vehicles recovered. One mobile phone left behind. Enquiries ongoing.

With help from members of the local community, West Belfast officers have recovered the two suspected stolen vehicles pictured below following reports of dangerous driving in the Divis area.

At approximately 9pm last night, police received multiple reports of a silver Volkswagen Polo being used for so-called “death driving”.

While searching for the Polo, officers from B Section Local Policing Team spotted a male driving a Skoda Fabia erratically. When officers attempted to stop him, he failed to stop and drove dangerously through the area.

The driver then abandoned the vehicle and fled over garden fences—but left his mobile phone behind for officers to recover.

Both vehicles will undergo further examination, along with the recovered phone, as enquiries continue to identify and locate those involved.

Dangerous driving puts lives at risk. Our community deserves better.

Thank you to everyone who assisted. We remain committed to tackling this reckless behaviour and keeping West Belfast safe.
