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. Ensure all front doors with handles are double locked from the inside. Keep handbags away from the front door. Don’t leave any keys near the front or back door, or in view of windows, or in reach of the letterbox. Don’t leave keys in the back door – even if locked – a burglar could smash the glass and turn the key to enter. Don’t leave windows open when you go out - even tiny windows can be used, to hook open another window. Lock your boundary gates and remove items nearby someone could use to jump over. Install lighting which can be triggered by movement sensors. Consider CCTV. More advice HERE
Vehicles – Keep your car locked and remove all valuable property from your car, including any bags and coats. Pull your car handle to CHECK it’s locked. If it’s a keyless entry car – make sure your car keys are not left within range for someone to copy the signal. To be sure, buy a ‘faraday pouch’ AND do not leave this on view in the house. Thieves will break into cars for bags and coats, due to the possibility they may contain valuables. Thieves will search unlocked vehicles for ANYTHING - including, chargers, loose coins, sunglasses and keys. More advice HERE
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. More advice HERE
Mopeds and Motorbikes – Please put your bike out of sight, if this is not possible, secure it with a thick chain and padlock to something solid. More advice HERE
Bicycles – Register your frame no on a free cycle database such as BikeRegister and Immobilise. This helps police identify stolen property easier and return it to its rightful owner. Never leave a bike unlocked. Double lock it with 2 D locks – Lock the frame and both wheels to a secure cycle stand. Take removable parts with you. More advice HERE
You can register your property on Immobilise - HERE Register anything with make, model and serial no, such as power tools, bikes, tablet, laptop, mobile etc - if they are found in a house search, we will then know who the item belongs to. Photograph your property without serial nos, such as, jewellery, antiques, silverware and upload the images to immobilise - then you have a record of what it looks like, if it is ever stolen.
