Burglary & Parcel Theft Appeal

Burglary & Parcel Theft Appeal

Good afternoon everyone,

We have seen an increase in reports of burglaries and thefts of parcels from doorsteps within the local area and would like to remind residents to remain vigilant.

Crime Prevention Advice

🏠 For Burglaries

Ensure all doors and windows are locked, even when you are at home.

Use exterior lighting, particularly motion-sensor lights where possible.

Keep valuables out of sight from windows.

Consider installing CCTV, video doorbells, or burglar alarms.

Ask trusted neighbours to keep an eye on your property if you are away.

📦 For Parcel Deliveries

Where possible, arrange delivery to a secure location, parcel locker, or trusted neighbour.

Use delivery tracking services so you know when items are due to arrive.

Avoid leaving parcels unattended on doorsteps for extended periods.

Consider using a video doorbell or CCTV covering the front of your property.

CCTV and Witness Appeal

We are appealing to residents who may have CCTV, Ring doorbell footage, dashcam footage, or any information relating to suspicious activity, burglaries, or parcel thefts in the area.

If you have any footage that may assist ongoing investigations, please contact us via direct message on Met Engage or by calling 101, quoting the relevant incident details where applicable.

Even if something appears insignificant, it could be valuable to an investigation.

Thank you for your support in helping keep our community safe.
