🏡✈️ Neighbour Away on Holiday? Here's How You Can Help Keep Their Home Safe 🚔

Many people are enjoying a well-earned summer break, but an empty property can sometimes attract unwanted attention. 👀

If you notice anything suspicious at a neighbour's home while they're away, please don't ignore it.

✅ Be alert for signs that something isn't right: 🔹 Unknown individuals entering the property
🔹 People trying doors, gates or windows
🔹 Vehicles arriving at unusual times and loading items
🔹 Damage to doors, windows or fences
🔹 Alarms sounding for an extended period

✅ What should you do? 📞 If a crime is happening now or someone is in immediate danger, call 999.

📱 If something doesn't seem right but it's not an emergency, report it via 101 or online through your local police website.

✅ Look out for your neighbours 👋 If you know your neighbours are away, keeping an eye on their property can go a long way.

You could: 🏠 Move any obvious parcels to a safe place (with permission where possible)
📬 Keep an eye out for overflowing post
🚗 Take note of suspicious vehicles or people nearby
💡 Report any concerns promptly

❌ Don't put yourself at risk Your safety comes first. Never confront suspicious individuals or attempt to investigate yourself. Leave that to the police. 🚔

💙 A vigilant community is one of the best ways to prevent crime. By looking out for one another and reporting anything unusual, we can help keep our neighbourhood safe all year round.
