Increased burglaries in your area

Good Afternoon,

Recent reports have shown a rise in burglaries that have resulted in theft of motor vehicles. Offenders are entering homes and locating car keys, often targeting properties during the late evening or overnight hours. In light of the recent increase in reported burglaries within the area, we encourage all residents to adopt the following preventive measures. Your cooperation is essential in helping reduce further incidents and maintaining a secure environment.

This includes ensuring that all doors and windows are securely locked, keeping vehicle keys out of sight and away from entry points, utilising exterior lighting or security systems, and promptly reporting any suspicious activity. Purchasing and using Faraday pouches for keyless entry fobs can also significantly reduce the risk of signal‑relay theft. Such preventative steps play a meaningful role in reducing opportunities for offending.

We appreciate your continued commitment to safeguarding our community and encourage all residents to remain alert and proactive.
