Palmers Green Safer Neighbourhood Team Newsletter for September 2025

Please see the attached Palmers Green Safer Neighbourhood Team Newsletter for September 2025.

As we head into autumn and winter there can be an increase in burglaries. How safe is your home? Burglars always look for easy targets so it is advisable to take precautions to reduce your risk. While we will continue to pursue burglars in the area, there are steps you can do 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 gates and 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 to prevent people opening them enough to climb through

If you 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 letter boxes or cat flaps

In the evening shut the curtains and leave lights on

Set your burglary alarm

Lock your shed or garage

Mark, register or record your valuables
