If you do notice anyone acting suspiciously at any time, please do not hesitate to contact Police, with the registration number of any vehicle they may be driving or a passenger within, together with a description including clothing. Criminals sometimes visit an area they intend to operate in at some stage before committing the offence in order to identify potential vehicles, properties etc.
It is important that your vehicles are securely locked and that any valuables are not left on display. Ideally, they should be removed and stored inside your home. In addition, a secondary security device such as the old fashioned ‘crook lock’ may deter the theft of cars and vans. Please do not store keys near your front door and especially not in view of windows or letter -boxes, as this will only encourage thieves.
To reduce the risk of having your number-plates stolen, anti-theft screws are available from your local police team. Please just request via email with your full postal address and they will be delivered to you. Not only is it troublesome and costly to replace number-plates but they may be used for criminal activity, or penalty notice evasion.
You are the ‘Eyes and Ears’ of the Police and your support is vital to try and prevent crime. If you identify any risk to yourself, yours or your neighbours’ properties, please call the emergency number 999. For all other enquiries please call 101.
In addition, if you would like any further crime prevention advice, or a home visit, please contact by return indicating your home address.
