This included not leaving valuables in the car and keeping doors locked.
“Things like wallets, phones, cameras and computer stuff should not be left in cars,” Sgt Hendrie said.
“Even coins left in cars are a target.”
He also urged people to park in well lit areas or places where there is CCTV, and to report any suspicious activity to police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
