Police are advising Glastonbury Festival goers to register their phones with them in case of theft.

While crime remains low at Glastonbury Festival, there was a rise in thefts from tents last year – particularly in the first two days of the event – and mobile phones proved to be a particular target.

As a result, police are this year urging people to register their mobile phones and other essential valuables on the Immobilise Database, before heading to the event, so if they are lost or stolen they can more easily be returned to their owners.

The best advice for not getting your stuff stolen is not to take it with you, but if you do have to take it, make sure it's stored securely and, wherever possible, make use of the festival's free property lock-ups.

Sergeant Kerry Williams said: "Crime at Glastonbury Festival is low and the crimes that do happen can be easily prevented. We're urging people to plan carefully ahead of this year's festival and leave any unnecessary valuables at home.

"However, if they do need to take the items with them, they should make sure they are registered on the Immobilise Database and are stored securely by making use of the free property lock-ups."
