DON’T LET THIEVES SPOIL YOUR CHRISTMAS

John Coppard (Police, PCSO, South Cambridgeshire – Sawston)

eCops logoChristmas is a busy time for most of us and it is easy to get carried away with all the excitement.  Thieves also get excited around Christmas time because we sometimes forget about securing our vehicles and protecting our property, and that is what the thieves depend on.

Don’t let them get away with your presents and belongings. Please read on…….
