🌞 Summer Safety Reminder 🏡

With the summer holidays underway and more people spending time away from home, we are reminding residents to take a few simple steps to reduce opportunities for criminals.

🔒 Lock Up Securely Ensure all doors, windows, sheds and garages are locked, even if you're only popping out for a short time or enjoying the garden at home.

🚗 Protect Your Vehicle Always lock your vehicle and remove valuables. Don't leave bags, phones, laptops or tools on display.

📱 Stay Alert to Scams and Fraud Criminals continue to target people through text messages, emails, phone calls and online marketplaces. If something doesn't feel right, stop, think and verify independently before sharing personal information or making payments.

🚲 Secure Your Bicycle Use a good-quality lock and, where possible, register your bike with a recognised property-marking scheme.

👀 Look Out for Your Neighbours Checking in on neighbours, particularly those who may be vulnerable or away on holiday, can make a real difference. Please report any suspicious activity promptly.

📞 Reporting Incidents 🚨 In an emergency, always call 999. For non-emergencies, report online or call 101.

Together, we can help keep our communities safe this summer. Thank you for doing your part to protect your home, your property and your community.
