NZ police remind tradies to keep their gear secure

Christchurch Police are reminding tradies to lock it or lose it, following increasing reports of thefts from 4x4s.

Vehicles have been targeted in the Lyttleton and Corsair Bay areas.

Christchurch Metro Area Prevention Manager Inspector Leairne Dow says that tradies in particular should be cautious to secure valuable tools left in vehicles.

"Police take this offending very seriously, we know the impact it has on victims, particularly when it's someone's livelihood being taken," she says.
