Crime Prevention Advice – Kennington Area

Good morning Resident

We have recently received reports of burglaries in the Kennington area. During the autumn and winter months, when daylight hours are shorter and homes are often filled with gifts in preparation for Christmas, the risk of burglary can increase.

There are simple steps you can take to help keep your home, vehicle, and valuables secure, reducing opportunities for thieves:

Keep doors and windows locked at all times, even when you are at home.

Use timer switches for lights to give the impression someone is home.

Avoid leaving valuables on display and keep gifts out of sight from windows.

Secure vehicles by removing valuables and ensuring they are locked.

Report suspicious activity to the police immediately.

If you notice anything unusual in your area—such as individuals or vehicles behaving suspiciously—please report it without delay.

Your vigilance plays a vital role in keeping our community safe.
