WINDOWS: Keep your windows closed and locked.

INTERIOR: Put your interior lights on a timer or smart bulb.

DOORS: Double or deadlock your doors.

EXTERIOR: Put your exterior lights on a sensor (preferably dusk to dawn).

NEIGHBOURS: Keep an eye out for neighbours.

To assist us in identifying stolen property please consider property marking high value items using Forensic Marking or UV pens.  You are also advised to register property at IMMOBILISE https://ow.ly/e4gY50Vr8hz which is a free on-line property register used by police forces nationwide to reunite stolen goods to their owners.  All you have to do is register on-line and then upload your property details, such as serial numbers of electrical items, cycle frame numbers and you can even upload pictures of valuable items such as jewellery or art.  In the event of them being stolen you can then cgfhmark the items as stolen.

If you have a burglar alarm, ensure it is set and working.

Please also find attached the Police Crime Prevention Handbook which covers a broad range of crime prevention advice.

If you see any suspicious activity, please report this via 999 or 101. 

Thank you
