Inspector Liz Sanderson


With darker nights still with us, police are urging residents to go ALL out to beat burglars by remembering Alarms, Locks and Lights.

The simple three-point message is a reminder to…

put the Alarm on
Lock all doors and windows
leave a Light on when leaving your home empty

It is also a good idea to set timer switches to turn lights and radios on and off.

By following this crime prevention advice you can make your home a less attractive target for criminals.

***

We are working hard to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour in this area and information from the community is vital.

To get in touch with us, please see the following headings on the right-hand side of this page...
