Burglaries in Your Area |

|
Dear Resident, I wanted to provide you with an update that 5 burglaries have been reported in our area since the new year started. In these cases, suspects gained access through the rear of properties.
Please consider using smart lights and security cameras to help prevent these crimes. Make sure gates, doors and windows at the back of your home are secure.
While we will continue to pursue burglars in the area, there are steps you can do to help keep your property safe. Make sure that you: Double lock your door every time you leave the house If you can, move garden furniture or bins away from windows so that thieves cannot use them to gain access. Use laminated glass or security film on ground floor and accessible windows. Use a sash stop if you have sash windows to prevent people opening them enough to climb through. If your windows open outwards, use a key operated lock – check these are locked before leaving the house. Make sure all valuables are out of sight. Keep handbags and keys away from letterboxes or cat flaps. In the evening shut the curtains and leave lights on. Set your burglar alarm Lock your shed or garage Mark, register or record your valuables. Please go to our website to find the latest advice and guidance on keeping yourself
If you see anything suspicious, please call 101. In an emergency, always call 999.
