Please attribute to Senior Sergeant Hamish Chapman, Nelson Bays Police:
Nelson Bays Police are reminding people to keep their cars and property secure after recent burglaries in the Nelson and Motueka area.
In many of these cases, offenders have taken advantage of homes and cars that were left unlocked and unsecure.
Investigations are ongoing into the burglary reports, and one person has been charged.
With Christmas and the summer break coming up this is a great time to make sure your home and property is secure.
Everyone can take simple steps that make it harder for criminals to offend.
