🚨 Hot Weather Crime Prevention Reminder 🚨

With the warm weather continuing, we’d like to remind everyone to stay vigilant when leaving their homes or vehicles.

☀️ It can be tempting to leave windows open to keep your property cool, but please remember to:

🏠 At Home ✅ Close and secure all accessible windows and doors before going out. ✅ Ensure valuables are kept out of sight. ✅ Consider asking a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your property if you're away for an extended period.

🚗 In Your Vehicle ✅ Always close all windows, even if you're only leaving the vehicle for a short time. ✅ Lock your vehicle and double-check it is secure. ✅ Remove valuables from sight or take them with you.

Opportunist thieves often look for easy targets, and a few simple precautions can help prevent burglaries and vehicle crime.

Please help us spread the message by reminding friends, family and neighbours to keep their homes and vehicles secure during the warmer weather.

Remember to always call 999 in an emergency. There are also a number of other ways you can get in touch such as by reporting online or calling 101. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
