I am pleased to announce that there have been no reported Burglaries on the ward this week. The Ealing Common Neighbourhood team will continue with their patrols in the area. There has been a significant rise in reported Burglaries on our neighbouring wards, so I am appealing to you to take note of the following crime prevention advice…….
These 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.
