CRIME REDUCTION:

There is often an increase in crimes at this time of year where property has been left insecure. Please make sure that you close and lock accessible windows and doors whenever possible and always when property is unattended. Likewise garages, sheds, outbuildings should be kept secure, garden tools, furniture and equipment locked away when not in use. Vehicles should always be locked when unattended and ensure nothing is left on display. Simple steps will greatly reduce the likelihood of you becoming a victim of crime.
