Hello Everyone,
Dark nights are drawing in and the clocks change this Sunday – 26th Oct
So, it’s a good time to review home security, e.g.
Cuts back shrubs and trees so they are not blocking lights or lines of sight
Check outside lights are working
Check garages and sheds are secure – consider ground anchors, garage defenders, shed alarms, anti-grinder bike locks
Check windows have key operated locks fitted, that catches, latches and stoppers are in a good state of repair – don’t leave keys in the locks
Check door locks – that any mortice locks are British Standard BS 3621 and any Euro profile cylinder locks are rated TS007
The attached leaflet will help guide you or for any further information please contact your local crime prevention team via –

If you see anyone acting suspiciously near to your premises, please contact the police immediately with as detailed a description as possible of any person or vehicle involved.
Please call 999 if an emergency and urgent police assistance is required or 101 to report the matter to the police.
Thank you
PC Campbell
