Dear Resident

Below you will find some crime prevention and home safety advice.

Please continue to report any suspicious behaviour in your area.

A lot of crimes committed in the community are opportunist crimes. Please do whatever you can to minimise the risk of you becoming a victim –  

Homes – Keep your doors locked and valuable property away from windows. Keep handbags away from the front door. Don’t leave keys near the front door, or in reach of the letterbox. Don’t leave windows open when you go out - even tiny windows can be used, to hook open another window. Install lighting which can be triggered by movement sensors. Consider CCTV. 

Garages / Sheds – Fit strong locks and hardware to doors. Keep them locked and the valuable

 property inside secured to a fixed point. Install lighting which can be triggered by movement sensors.
