Drysdale theft from cars on the rise

The print version of today's Geelong Advertiser ( 29 September 2010 p. 18) entitled: "Car theft crime spree", by Jane Harper, reports that:

"Police have received dozens of reports over the past few weeks of overnight thefts from unlocked cars parked in residential areas in Drysdale, St Leonards and Clifton Springs. "The thefts usually happen in the early hours of the morning and we believe the thieves just work their way along, testing the doors for unlocked cars", Leading Senior-Constable Robbie Adams said..."


Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at the Drysdale Police Station on 5253 1763.

In the 2008/09 year there were 43 reported thefts from Motor Vehicles in the 3222 post code area - as reported by the Herald Sun. This was a significant increase from 19 reported in the previous year.
