From: Tim Parkin (Police, Community Information Officer, Derbyshire)

Officers would like to remind residents to be mindful of anything left insecure outside following two recent incidents.

* One occurred on Wardlow Fold, Glossop, on Wednesday 1st October around 8pm. Three youths took a petrol can left outside the garage whilst the owner fetched the keys. Crime 41535/14.

* The other occurred on Longlands Road, New Mills, between Saturday 20th and Wednesday 29th September. A pressure washer and leaf blower were taken from under an insecure car port. Crime 41345/14.

Please put away any items of value in a safe out-of-view location. It can take only a moment for an opportunist thief to strike.
