🏠 Crime Prevention Advice: 

• Ensure doors are fitted with quality locks and security features. 

• Consider installing a doorbell camera or CCTV system.

• Avoid keeping important documents and valuables in easily accessible locations. 

• If using a safe, ensure it is securely fixed to the building structure where possible. 

• Look out for your neighbours and report suspicious behaviour promptly.

Firstly if you have CCTV or a doorbell camera please check it between 08/10/2026 1830hrs and 1840hrs to check if you had any activations. 

Secondly if you have a door with a cylinder lock (composite or UPVC doors mainly) please check the lock. 

As a precaution, please check that your door locks are secure and correctly fitted. We recommend anti-snap locks with a 3 Star rating, certified to either TS007 or SS312 standards. These locks are available from many locksmiths and security providers.

Whilst we do not wish to alarm residents, it is always worthwhile reviewing your home security and reporting anything that seems suspicious. If you have any information regarding this or any other burglary, please contact us on 101.
