Dear Resident of Bridge Ward It’s that time of year again were families get together and enjoy the festivities together. However it is also the time were thieves are on the lookout for opportunities. To prevent yourself of being a victim of crime there are certain action that can be taken to protect you and your property. Lock all windows and double lock doors when you go out, even if its only for a few minutes. Don’t Advertise your goods, always keep Valuables like tablets and laptops out of sight from windows, consider buying a safe or using other safe storage providers to store high value itemsStore your keys away from the letter box, if you have a keyless entry car consider buying a faraday pouch.Keep Gates, shed and Garages locked and don’t leave tools lying around as they can be used to break in.External Lighting is a good deterrent and is recommended at doors as it makes it safer for you when coming and going after dark.CCTV can be a valuable tool. However it does not always prevent a crime from being committed and does have limitations but can provide valuable evidence when investigating a offence. CCTV linked to a smartphone will alert you to someone crossing your boundary. More information can be found at: https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/ Regards Bridge SNT
