🔐 Crime Prevention Advice – Key Safes & Burglary Prevention

We would like to remind residents of the following advice to help reduce the risk of becoming a victim of burglary:

🔑 Key Safe Security

Avoid leaving keys easily accessible in external key safes, especially in visible or poorly secured locations.

Position key safes out of direct sight (not near the front door).

Regularly change access codes, particularly if multiple people have access.

Consider alternative arrangements where possible, such as trusted neighbours or smart lock systems.

🚪 General Home Security

Always lock doors and windows, even when at home.

Store keys well away from doors and windows, and out of sight.

Install motion sensor lighting and CCTV where possible.

Use alarms and steering wheel locks to protect vehicles.

Avoid advertising valuables or routines on social media.

🚗 Vehicle Security

Never leave keys in unattended areas.

Consider using a Faraday pouch to prevent keyless theft.

Park in well-lit, secure locations where possible.
