The protocol is one Hampshire Constabulary has said it will action during investigations into thefts from vehicles.
Officers will be ‘actively patrolling’ in a bid to identify suspected thieves and anyone seen acting suspiciously near vehicles.

‘If this is the case we will be making contact with you and giving appropriate advice.’

Alternatively, call 999 in the event of an emergency.
