    Residents with CCTV or dashcam footage from the affected areas are encouraged to review their recordings for any unusual activity during the specified times. Footage can be submitted directly to Kent Police to aid the investigation.

    Crime Prevention Advice:

    With the Easter holidays approaching, many properties may be left unoccupied, increasing the risk of burglary. Residents are advised to:

  • Lock all doors and windows securely.
  • Use timers on lights and radios to create the appearance of occupancy.
  • Install CCTV or video doorbells and ensure existing security cameras are operational.
  • Do not leave valuables visible through windows or doors.
  • Inform trusted neighbours if leaving your property unattended.
  • If you notice any suspicious behaviour, report it immediately to Kent Police.
