🎄 Festive Crime Prevention Tips from Your NL56 Beat Team 🎅

The festive season is here! While we all enjoy the celebrations, it’s also a time when opportunistic crime can increase. Here are some simple tips to help keep you and your belongings safe:

✅ At Home:

Lock doors and windows, even when you’re in.

Keep gifts out of sight from windows.

If you’re going away, use timers for lights and ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye out.

🚗 Out and About:

Never leave shopping or valuables visible in your car.

Park in well-lit areas and lock your vehicle.

📱 Online Shopping:

Use secure websites and avoid clicking on suspicious links.

Watch out for scams – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

🎉 When Socialising:

Keep an eye on your belongings in busy places.

Plan your journey home and stick with friends.

Let’s make this festive season safe and enjoyable for everyone! If you see anything suspicious, report it to us via 101 or online.

Stay safe, look out for each other, and have a wonderful Christmas! 🎅✨
