Keep your belongings safe & don't let pickpockets win!

Good afternoon Hounslow Central Residents,

Just like that, Friday is here again. To all the residents heading out this weekend. Here is a little crime prevention to prevent you or others close by from being a victim to pickpocketing. Pickpocketing is a huge issue around Hounslow High street due to the busy nature of stores. 

With the end of summer approaching for some residents, last minute school shopping could be your priority this weekend too. If you are heading out with your children in a pram for example, then do keep an eye on where you leave your belongings. It is easy to leave your pram at the end of a clothing isle for a short second due to the pram not fitting/too busy. However, this is the perfect time for a pickpocket to strike. 

Have a little read on do’s & don’t around pickpocketing on the metropolitan police website link below for a lot more crime prevention tips:
