We are all aware of the surfers being attacked by sharks and other ferocities lurking beneath the deep blue tarmac. But have you ever heard about surfers being targeted for something they own of value? Well, in England’s Newquay region, two crooks are being arrested for a spate of car thefts at some famous surfing spots. 

Newquay is a town on the north coast of Cornwall. Resting on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Newquay attracts surfers from around the globe. However, in the last few months, the coastal region of Cornwall has become infamous among surfing fans for an increasing number of automobile larceny from the beaches. Nevertheless, the local police department arrested the offenders and issued some safety guidelines for surfers and other beach paddlers.

Interestingly, in order to catch the crooks, the police “stepped up their targeted patrols at known surf spots.” As per the policemen, the southernmost beach of Newquay viz. Fistral beach is the most vulnerable spot for thieves. In Fistral, “surfers park on the road rather than in a paid car park with CCTV cameras”.

Nevertheless, the law enforcement officers also issued some safety guidelines for surfers. The police requested the beachgoers to make sure to take their keys with them. Furthermore, the police appealed to the paddlers to not leave “any valuables in the car”. Clearly, the police department of Newquay did a commendable job by comprehensively planning their patrolling locations.
