Burglary reduction month
Thursday 1 November 07 was the launch date of a Burglary Reduction action month by Thames Valley Police.
We are pleased to report there have been significant reductions in
reported burglaries during the past year and wish to see this trend
continue. We would like to ask for your support by taking the following
steps:-
Please Check all door and window locks, (especially ground floor and to the rear of your property) including patio doors and conservatory doors and windows.
Use a security chain on your door in the event of any unexpected visitors.
With the darker evenings now upon us ensure you have good lighting on the approach to and around your house.
Do not leave any tools or equipment out or around the garden, especially ladders, which could be used to force and gain entry.
Ensure all sheds & outbuildings are properly secured.
Property mark valuable items, televisions, DVD players, computers including laptops with an ultra violet marker pen. (postcode & house number)
For further information or advice please contact your local Crime
Reduction Advisor at Thames Valley Police on 08458 505 505.
