Scottish Borders Alert - Caravan Thefts

Following the thefts of three caravans recently from caravan sites at Coldingham and Thirlstane Castle we are advising caravan site staff and the general public to remain vigilant for suspicious activity and for caravan owners to consider the following prevention advice;

• Install additional dead lock bolts and/or hook locks on doors to prevent access if the main locking system is overcome.
• Use in-van alarms (battery operated, vibration sensitive alarms are readily available).
• Ensure windows and doors are maintained to high standard and can be firmly locked and secured.
• Use a hitch lock and wheel lock. Ensure you buy the appropriate lock for your caravan, or consult the manufacturer.
• Use a tracking device.
• Security mark the contents of your caravan e.g. with a DNA-based marking system) AND affix signage to the van to this effect.

Although these measures cannot completely guarantee the security of your caravan, they can provide a significant deterrent effect.

Please report any suspicious activity on your site to us immediately via 101 or 999 if the activity is ongoing.

If at all possible, record registration numbers/ descriptions of vehicles / descriptions of suspects.
