Business Burglaries in your area

Good Afternoon,

As some of you may have noticed there has been some increased high visibility patrol in the area. We have recently seen an increase of business burglaries in your area. The offenders appear to be targeting businesses through the rear doors, early hours of the morning. A lot of the businesses targeted recently do not have CCTV covering them which is a great opportunity for criminals to target and not be seen.

We would like to offer some advice on this matter, please ensure that all doors are locked, do not leave any valuables in sight and try to keep cash left on premises to a minimum if you are a business. We also strongly advise to invest in CCTV if you are able to do so, this can help as a deterrent to criminals. 

If you need any more advice on any type of CCTV or security measures please feel free to speak to one of us here at Blackpool Central Neighbourhood Policing Team and we will advise as best as we can :)

If you see anything at all, please report this, for an emergency or ongoing crime ring 999, for none emergencies ring 101 or report online at www.doitonline.lancashire.police.uk
