Vehicle Theft

Please be aware that between 2130hrs on Friday 3 December and 0800hrs Saturday 4 December 2021 offenders have stolen a grey Range Rover Velar from Manor Road, Kenilworth. The keys for the vehicle were not stolen indicating that this was keyless vehicle theft potentially carried out by a device intercepting the signal from the vehicle’s keys inside a property nearby.

 

This incident highlights the need to place keys of vehicles with keyless entry in a faraday cage or pouch and consider a steering lock cover over the steering wheel.

 

This is incident 104 of 4 December 2021

 

Attempted Burglary foiled by Anti Snap Locks

 

Please be aware that between 0015hrs on Thursday 3 December and 1200hrs on Saturday 4 December 2021 offenders have attempted to break into a property at Rouncil Lane, Kenilworth by attempting to force the lock off a rear conservatory door. The lock fitted was of the recommended ‘anti snap’ type which ensured that the offenders were unable to gain entry.

 

While regrettable that an attempt was made to enter the property the benefit and added protection of anti-snap locks is demonstrated by this incident

 

This is incident 201 of 4 December 2021

Warwickshire Police will again be supporting the national anti-drink drug driving operation starting on 1 December and running until the 31 December 2021 to highlight the consequences of driving under the influence of drink or drugs.

Across Warwickshire in 2019, drink driving was cited as a causation factor in 72 road traffic collisions including one fatal and 27 serious collisions. In the same period, illegal or medicinal drugs, were cited as a causation factor in 21 road traffic collisions including 2 fatal and 7 serious collisions.

These collisions include 10 collisions where drivers were found to be impaired by both alcohol and drugs (illicit or medicinal) and 5 of these collisions resulted in serious injuries.

The December campaign aims to change driver behaviours by expelling some of the myths around drink and drug driving whilst the enforcement element aims to catch those that do drink or take drugs and drive.

Warwickshire Police will be publicising arrests as part of the enforcement and Kenilworth Watch will be passing the details out through our alert system to keep you up to date.

We wish everyone a safe and pleasant time over the next month.
