A QUICK UPDATE

So far in the Month of December there have been 4 reports of Burglaries in the Hanger Hill area.

With Christmas fast approaching below are some useful tips to secure your property, especially at this time of year

While we will continue to pursue burglars in the area, there are steps you can do to help keep your property safe. Make sure that you:

Double lock your door every time you leave the house

If you can, move garden furniture or bins away from windows so that thieves cannot use them to gain access.

Use laminated glass or security film on ground floor and accessible windows.

Use a sash stop if you have sash windows to prevent people opening them enough to climb through.

If your windows open outwards, use a key operated lock – check these are locked before leaving the house.

Make sure all valuables are out of sight.

Keep handbags and keys away from letterboxes or cat flaps.

In the evening shut the curtains and leave lights on.

Set your burglar alarm
