Home Security Tips:
- Always ensure external doors and windows are closed and securely locked when you leave your home.
- Avoid leaving spare keys in easily accessible places like outside, in a garage, or shed. Store car or garage keys out of sight inside the house.
- Secure ladders and tools so that they cannot be used to break into your property or your neighbors’.
- Good lighting, alarms, and CCTV systems are effective deterrents for potential offenders.
- Consider using a property or police-approved forensic marking solution to make your valuables less attractive to thieves. These markings are only visible under ultraviolet (UV) light. For more information, visit the Secured by Design website.
- Avoid displaying valuable items where they can be easily seen by passersby.
Residents are reminded that if they have any information related to crime or witness any suspicious behavior, they should contact 101.
