Your Inspector
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.
