🏠 Burglary Alert – North Acton Area

We’ve received reports of recent burglaries around North Acton Playing Fields, particularly targeting homes that appear empty and in darkness during the evening hours.

To help protect your property and stay safe, here are some burglary prevention tips:

🔒 Secure Your Home

Always lock doors and windows, even when you're at home.

Use deadbolts and window locks where possible.

Consider installing a security alarm or smart doorbell camera.

💡 Make Your Home Look Occupied

Use timer switches to turn lights on and off when you're out.

Leave a radio or TV on at low volume to give the impression someone is home.

Avoid leaving curtains fully closed during the day—it can signal no one is inside.

🚪 Be Neighbourly

Let trusted neighbours know if you're going away.

Join or follow your local Neighbourhood Watch group.

Report suspicious activity immediately to police via 101 or 999 in emergencies.
