Secure Your HomeLock all doors and windows, even when you’re at home or only popping out.Make sure side gates, sheds, and garages are properly secured. Tools kept outside are often used to gain entry.Use timers for lights if you’re out in the evenings to make your home look occupied.Look After Your PropertyKeep valuables out of sight from windows.Mark your belongings with a property marking kit and register them on Immobilise.com – this helps police identify and return stolen items.Consider installing CCTV or a video doorbell. Even simple devices can deter offenders.Be Neighbour AwareKeep an eye on vulnerable neighbours and report anything unusual.Join or form a Neighbourhood Watch group—communities that look out for each other are less likely to be targeted.Report Suspicious ActivityIf you see something that doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. Call 101 to report suspicious behaviour.Always dial 999 if a crime is in progress. Kind regards, Colindale SNT |
