Dear Resident,
 

Burglaries and thefts of parcels from doorsteps within the local area is a commonly reported issue, and we would like to remind residents to remain vigilant.
 

Crime Prevention Advice

🏠 For Burglaries

·  Ensure all doors and windows are locked, even when you are at home.

·  Use exterior lighting, particularly motion-sensor lights where possible.

·  Keep valuables out of sight from windows.

·  Consider installing CCTV, video doorbells, or burglar alarms.

·  Ask trusted neighbours to keep an eye on your property if you are away.
 

📦 For Parcel Deliveries

·  Where possible, arrange delivery to a secure location, parcel locker, or trusted neighbour.

·  Use delivery tracking services so you know when items are due to arrive.

·  Avoid leaving parcels unattended on doorsteps for extended periods.

·  Consider using a video doorbell or CCTV covering the front of your property.
