Police are conducting patrols in the areas for community reassurance and have issued the following crime prevention advice:

Make sure your doors and windows are closed and locked when you’re not in the room. Nearly half of all burglaries are down to a door or window being open;

Make sure nothing of value (including your car key) is left on show to tempt thieves into your property;

Think about fitting a burglar alarm and security lighting – both to your home and outbuildings. It may be expensive, but they are very effective deterrents and can bring down your insurance costs.
