Police Scotland: Secure your van!

We’ve recently received reports of vans being broken into and tools being stolen from within.

Please consider additional security measure to secure your tools:

– If possible park within secure buildings/yards, under CCTV and in well-lit areas, restricting access to the doors if possible (parking close to walls etc)

– You may wish to consider replacing existing locks with more robust alternatives, e.g. slam and dead locks, designed to withstand being overcome by tools such as grinders and lock picks.

– It is recommended to remove your tools from your van and the end of the day if possible, or consider installing a tool safe within.

– Ensure you keep a record of tool serial numbers and make tools appear unique as possible such as paint markings or stickers.
