CAR crime has been raised as the top priority for police to tackle in the Swaffham area after a meeting with local residents.
A street briefing was held by the town's safer neighbourhood team last Tuesday.
People said vehicle nuisance and car crime was their main concern - from inconsiderate parking to anti-social driving.
As a result of the meeting three new priorities for police in the area were set.
You may also want to watch:
These were anti-social driving and litter in the Theatre Street car park, inconsiderate parking outside Swaffham Poultry Market and anti-social behaviour and car crime prevention in the town and surrounding area.
Between October and January, police said the team looked at anti-social behaviour, nuisance vehicles, theft from gardens and criminal damage in Necton.
