There has been an increase in the theft of gardening equipment recently, mainly hedge trimmers, chainsaws, etc, from gardens, sheds & outbuildings. Ensure that such items are locked away securely. Make a note of serial numbers for your possessions, mark items with your postcode plus your house number or the first two letters of the house name and maybe take photographs.
Thieves find identifiable property more difficult to sell on. Often, property recovered by the police cannot be returned to the rightful owners simply because it cannot be identified.
If you require any home security advice, please call the Crime Reduction Officers on 0845 164 1644.
Thank you.
