Welsh Police have urged caravan users to ensure their tourers and any expensive items within them are well protected from would-be thieves.
The advice comes as research from Saga Caravan Insurance reveals the growing number of holidaymakers taking expensive electronics onboard, with 58 per cent of respondents packing a laptop.
And speaking to the Tivy Side Advertiser, community safety police constable Pat Jalloal called on caravan owners to protect these and other desirable items like flat screen TVs, which are of high-value and easy to dispose.
“Ensure that these items are removed from the caravan during unoccupied times,” he told the news provider. “It will also be advantageous to mark properties with UV pens, which can be obtained from site proprietors or the police station.”
PC Jalloal also urged park proprietors to ensure CCTV systems and external site lighting is in good working order, with either acting as a “deterrent” to potential criminals.
The advice comes following a recent spate of burglaries from a number of static caravans in the Ceredigion region of Wales.
