Crime Prevention Advice

Residents in the Seven Sisters area are advised to take simple steps to reduce the risk of burglary and report any suspicious activity to police. Working together as a community can help prevent crime and keep the area safe.

While we will continue to pursue burglars in the area, there are steps you can do to help keep your property safe. Please see Crime Prevention Advice and links below.

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.
