Burglary in Higham road, nr Stanwick

Dear Resident

We have recently been made aware of a break-in to an unoccupied house on the outskirts of Stanwick village between the 4 & 28 May.

The property has now been more extentively boarded up to prevent further break-ins.

Residential Burglary

Burglars often break in at the rear of properties. Ensure your rear garden is secure at all times with 1.8m perimeter fence/wall/gate and keep all gates locked

Make sure the front of your property is easily seen – fences and hedges should not be more than 1 metre high

Install dusk to dawn lighting above your front door

Keep your doors locked at all times – so many burglars just walk in – don’t make it easy for them!

If you’re not in the room, close the window

Make sure your house looks occupied, leave lights on when you’re out. Use timer switches for when you’re away
