Gloucester City thefts alert


If you are a Visitor to Gloucester City Centre you are kindly reminded to not leave your personal possessions unattended whilst visiting any local pubs and restaurants within the City. Keep your wallets, purses and possessions zipped away safe and within a reasonable accessible distance.

Unfortunately there has been an increase in thefts over the past last few months.

Victims of theft should further report the crime via the 101 non emergency telephone number.
Personal issue possessions such as bank cards should be cancelled as soon as possible with your bank. Any items such as passports/driving licences should also be cancelled as soon as possible.

If it can be avoided and unless absolutely necessary do not carry items such as utility bills within your possessions as these can easily be used to commit fraud.

For further crime prevention advice please feel free to view the Gloucestershire Constabulary website at - www.gloucestershire.police.uk.
