Not a horrendous week on the streets of Custom House. 

As always, don’t leave any valuable items in your vehicles, close windows and lock doors (front and back) when you leave the house.  If you can, invest in CCTV or a digital doorbell that records, they really are a great deterrent and help us immensely.

Until next week

Be Good, Have Fun & Stay Safe
