Protect your outbuildings - Crime Prevention Advice
Some sheds and garages in the area have been broken into recently. To reduce the risk of this happening to you, we recommend following the crime prevention steps below:
- Consider fitting an alarm to your shed or garage – most DIY stores stock battery operated alarms suitable for this purpose.
- Always mark the property you keep within your garage or shed as this will help us identify it if it is stolen and later recovered. Keep a list of property with photographs if possible.
- Lock your shed/garage after use and ensure it is fitted with a good strong lock, padlock, door hinges or other security advice such as a Garage Defender.
- Ensure that glass in any windows to garages or sheds is secure and have window locks fitted if possible. You could also consider putting up curtains to prevent anyone seeing the contents of your garage or shed.
- Do not store large quantities of valuables in your shed/garage and make sure items kept inside the garage or shed are secure – large items can be padlocked together or you could sink a post into the floor of the garage or shed and padlock any items to the post.
- If your garage is not in regular use, ensure that you check it regularly for signs of damage, or ask a neighbour or friend to keep an eye on it.
Come and see us at:
- The Thursday coffee morning at the All Saints Church - PCSO Green has been attending these since the end of April and is available to speak to you about any issues or concerns you may have.
- The Community Life Centre, Fleming Avenue - Every second and fourth Monday of the month between 10am and 11am. You can also talk to staff at the centre anonymously at any time and they can talk to us about your concerns, without passing us any of your personal details.
