SHOPLIFTING IN BURY TOWN CENTRE - More high-value thefts have been reported recently and because of this there is a greater police presence in our town centre. The police are offering reassurance to businesses and under Operation Deprive and Operation Heartbeat there have been numerous arrests with police actively targeting offenders and supporting businesses, including a notable two-year ban for prolific shoplifters. The police are encouraging local businesses to report all incidents of theft, as retail crime is believed to be underreported.
Doorstep crime prevention advice Lock front and back doors whilst at home or away. Put on your door chain or door bar before opening the door to strangers. Always ask for ID and check it carefully - keep a list of official numbers by the phone. Genuine callers will always be happy to wait if you want to phone and confirm their identity. Display - A no cold calling sticker on your door/window to advise cold callers to stay away from your home. Remember - It is OK to say "No" to a doorstep caller and close the door. Don't keep large sums of money in your house. Do not employ the services of cold calling - businesses such as property repair businesses, paving, tree surgery or jet washing. Report suspicious callers to the police and the Citizens Advice Consumer Service 0808 223 1133 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm. Local support is available via phone - 0808 278 7804
