POLICE have revealed Canvey residents have been plagued by a spate of car crimes.
Officers are launching a campaign to combat the problem on the island after 16 thefts from vehicles in the past four weeks.
Police are calling on people to help in tackling the problem by taking all possible precautions to secure their vehicles.
They also want to hear from anyone who sees any suspicious activity going on around cars and for people to report if they are offered items such as satellite navigation systems and car audio equipment from illicit sources.
