Crime clamp down you can’t forget A new campaign to reduce the amount of car crime in the North East Derbyshire District has been launched by the Partnership. Over the past few months leaflets bearing the slogan “Forget it” were left by police officers on the windscreens of parked vehicles as a means of deterring thieves. The brightly coloured leaflets which states that no valuables have been left in the car, serve two purposes. Not only do they warn thieves that police are operating in the area, but they also remind motorists not to leave valuables in there vehicles. Chair of the Partnership, Councillor Peter Riggott, said: “This is an eye-catching campaign aimed at alerting motorist to the danger of leaving valuables in parked vehicles.” “It also serves as a warning to thieves that Police are out about in the area. We know from experience that where similar campaigns have been used, crime levels have gone down as thieves move on to easier targets.”
