Enfield Police would again like to remind people to be careful where they put their car keys there has been a number of incidents recently where cars are being stolen as a result of car keys being left in obvious places (such as near the door) giving burglars the opportunity to quickly make off with the vehicle.

Enfield Police advice people to adhere to the following:

• Do not leave car keys in an obvious place; make it as hard as possible for the thief. At nighttime take your car keys upstairs with you.
  

• Always remember to lock doors and windows, if you have UPVC doors installed always double lock them.
  

• Thieves are selecting cars they want to steal from outside houses. They will look for any opportunity to steal keys left hanging up in the kitchen or hallway or left on the table – and will actually target them. It is therefore vital that householders do hide the keys from view.

Remember: remove the opportunity
