Burglaries Crime prevention & Figures from last 6 months

Good afternoon, Hounslow East Residents, 

As the ward panel meeting has passed by, we have collectively agreed that one of our new priorities will be around residential burglaries. This was agreed due to the rise in numbers of burglaries. Additionally, due to the busy months approaching. For example, Diwali, Halloween, Bonfire night, Christmas & New year’s etc. These busy times could mean houses being left unattended for longer periods of times. As a result of this, I have put together some results & crime prevention for the upcoming months to take into consideration. 

In the last 6 months, there has been the following number of residential burglaries within the area of Hounslow East:

April: 4

May: 2

June: 1 Attempted

July: 2

August: 4

September: 4
