Congratulations to Neighbourhood Watch St Leonards for their outstanding Summer Theft Prevention Poster Competition, which engaged local youth in promoting car safety. Students were invited to create posters reminding residents and tourists to lock their cars and protect their valuables. These posters were displayed around the town and shared on social media, receiving praise from the community. The project successfully reduced theft from motor vehicles during the holiday period, with zero reports of theft in January. This creative initiative not only educated the community but also instilled a sense of pride in the participating students.
