Crime Prevention:

If you own a keyless ignition vehicle then please consider purchasing a faraday pouch to keep your fob secure. For all vehicles a great security measure is to have a steering lock. Please park your vehicle in a visible and well-lit area when possible.

Please consider fitting anti-snap locks to increase your properties security. Composite doors tend to be stronger than UPVC so if you are planning on getting a new one, please consider a composite as opposed to UPVC. If you have a porch on your property remember to lock it as much as possible as an open porch can encourage opportunists.

If you own a vehicle please make sure your vehicle is locked and no valuables left inside. If your car has keyless ignition then please make sure you are keeping your car fob in a faraday pouch to keep your car key code secure.

Take care,

PCSO Kirsty Smith 32125
