Lock Your Car

One person on ITC Lane Cove Chat noted:

“It’s because people keep leaving their cars unlocked and doors and windows to the house unlocked or open. It’s too easy for them because everyone says, nothing happens around here…! They will only stop when they find it to difficult and they find another location that is easier and less risk!”

Report Crime

It is important for Lane Cove Residents to report all incidents to police.  By reporting incidents this helps police monitor patterns and trends.  Read more here as to how you can quickly report a police matter.
