Thefts from garages, vehicles and burglaries
There has been a spate of Garage and shed breaks over the last week on this beat. These have occurred overnight. Various items have been stolen from power tools to bicycles.
• Please be vigilant. Lock your garages and sheds.
• Mark any power tools with some identifying marks. Write down serial numbers these help in tracing items if they have been sold in a second hand shop.
• Take down serial numbers from bicycles and photographs. Photographs are very useful if the bike has unique features i.e. mud guards, hand grips. If recently bought please keep receipts.
• Keep ladders locked up in the garage to prevent them being used to break into your house.
• Lighting can be used as a deterrent.
• Dummy CCTV cameras are also useful as a deterrent.
There has also been a few house burglaries as well.
• Please lock your doors and windows.
• Lock gates that lead to the garden.
• Keep bins away from fences.
• Lock up ladders.
• Don’t leave keys in doors or in view of the letterbox, where a pole can be put through to pull the keys through.
• Don’t leave valuable items on view from the window.
• If you are going away cancel newspapers, cover any glass panel that letters may be seen if no one is moving the post whilst you are away
• Leave the radio/light on a timer.
• Ask a neighbour to come in at different times to water plants feed the animals.
Also a few thefts from carsvans. …again
• Again please lock your vehicle.
• If possible remove any power tools from the vehicle.
• Do not leave valuable on display. Remove satnavs as well as the holder and remove leads.
• Don’t leave coins on display.
• Remove bags i.e rucksack and gym bags.
• Mobile phone holders and leads.
• Dash Cams are useful.
