Avoid being a burglary victim. Let's make life difficult for the burglar. There are a number of steps you can take to help prevent your home being burgled and avoid the distress of having your treasured possessions stolen:

Fit a timer switch which will turn your lights on when you are not at home.
Fit dusk to dawn security lighting.
Have an alarm fitted and service it regularly.
Look at the boundaries of your property and keep hedges short and trimmed.
Neighbours - support each other.
Immediately report any suspicious incidents to the police.
Mark valuable items with your postcode.
Do not leave any valuables on show in your vehicle.

Remember burglaries can occur when people leave their premises insecure. Don't let yourself become a victim. Always remember to lock your door with the key when you are going out and before you go to bed at night and please keep the key close by at night in case of an emergency.

You can help stop vehicle crime in our area by ensuring your vehicle is always locked and if it has an alarm it is in full working order.

Please ensure that all valuables are out of sight when leaving your vehicle, sat nav systems are easy to steal from a car if they are left on show, as are all small items such as mobile phones and MP3 players.

If you need crime prevention or home security advice please do not hesitate to contact me on the neighbourhood policing mobile number 077793 19907 so we can arrange a suitable date and time for us to attend your address.
