while incidents can happen anywhere, a few simple precautions can make a big difference:
1. Always lock doors and windows , even if you are at home stepping out briefly .
2. Use timer for lights if you are away to give the impression someone is home.

Let's continues working together to keep our Neighbourhood safe. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out.
 While we will continue to pursue burglars in the area, there are steps you can do to help keep your property safe. Make sure that you: Double lock your door every time you leave the house If you can, move garden furniture or bins away from windows so that thieves cannot use them to gain access. Use laminated glass or security film on ground floor and accessible windows. Use a sash stop if you have sash windows to prevent people opening them enough to climb through. If your windows open outwards, use a key operated lock – check these are locked before leaving the house. Make sure all valuables are out of sight. Keep handbags and keys away from letterboxes or cat flaps. In the evening shut the curtains and leave lights on. Set your burglar alarm Lock your shed or garage Mark, register or record your valuables.
