Pet theft can happen when an opportunity presents itself, but there are practical steps pet owners can take to reduce the risk.

Vision Australia Radio catches up with Adam Bloomfield from Crime Stoppers Victoria to discuss pet theft, sometimes referred to as "pet napping", and why owners should think carefully about their pets' security.

Adam shares practical tips including microchipping and registering pets, securing gates and yards, being mindful about information shared with strangers, using security cameras or tracking devices, and never leaving pets unattended in vehicles or outside shops and cafés.

He also explains why reporting suspicious behaviour can help protect pets and the wider community.

Information can be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestoppersvic.com.au.
