It has been observed that employees / customers are parking their vehicles in front of the operational area (dock area), resulting in pilferage of material. To counteract these offences, you are hereby ordered to park your vehicle in the designated parking zone . This order is issued with immediate effect and your strict adherence henceforth is strongly advised.

(I have retained the use of 'you' as written in the original.)
