Moblile phones and bikes stolen in
past few days
North Wales Police are advising people not to become careless with their belongings following a recent spate of incidents in Denbighshire – including Llan.
Officers say that over the past few days mobile phones and a bicycle
have been stolen, simply because they have been left unattended for a few
moments.
Incidents have included mobile phones being left unattended on bars, a
bag which included a phone being left by a window.
All incidents have happened in the Llangollen, Denbigh, Ruthin, St Asaph
and Corwen areas.
Inspector Tony Latham from North Wales Police said: “The majority of
these crimes are opportunist and are completely avoidable.
“Leaving items on display will be enough to tempt a thief.
“It only takes seconds for someone to grab your phone/bag/purse/wallet
when left unattended. Don’t become a victim, always ensure your belongings are
secure in your jackets or pockets.”
Tips to keep your belongings safe are:
- Never
leave your mobile phone in sight on a bar or restaurant / café table – it
may be within your reach but it will also be within reach of an
opportunist thief
- Don’t
leave your bag on the back of a chair or out of sight under a table – it
takes seconds for valuable contents such as purses and phones to be gone
- Ensure
that zips and fastenings on handbags, bags or backpacks are closed
- Never
leave valuables unattended
- Register
your mobile phone with your network provider and keep your phone number
and IMEI number in a safe place (access your IMEI by keying *#06# or look
behind the battery of your phone)
