Awareness for Developers

Dear Members

For awareness, we have had reports of theft of copper piping. Both containers and plots have been targeted. A generator has also been stolen and tools.

Please be assured that we regularly patrol the new build sites in Bablake. Due to the recent crime which appears to be happening after midnight our Proactive Team will be out and about too.

Secured by Design and UK Police Forces have made a new publication which provides credible advice that can be applied from the design stages through to the completion of construction and which can have a positive impact in reducing the risk of crime and anti-social activity against construction sites. The guide can be downloaded for free from the SBD website: https://www.securedbydesign.com/images/CONSTRUCTION_SITE_SECURITY_GUIDE_A4_8pp.pdf

There is also a further guide available in relation to heat pumps, battery storage systems and EV charging cables. Secured by Design_HEAT PUMP SECURITY LEAFLET A4 4pp.pdf

Please continue reporting any crimes and suspicious activity because it really does help us.
