⚠️ Dangers of Entering Abandoned Buildings ⚠️

⚠️ Dangers of Entering Abandoned Buildings ⚠️

We have recently received a report of individuals entering an abandoned building in the local area.

While these locations may appear interesting to explore, abandoned buildings can pose serious risks to your safety. Hidden hazards can include unstable floors and roofs, exposed electrical wiring, sharp objects, broken glass, asbestos, hazardous substances, and unsecured shafts or basements. In many cases, emergency services may also have difficulty accessing those who become injured inside.

Entering derelict properties without permission may also constitute trespassing and could place individuals at risk of becoming involved in criminal activity or anti-social behaviour.

We would encourage parents and guardians to speak with young people about the dangers of entering vacant buildings and to remind them to stay away from sites that have been secured for public safety.

If you notice suspicious activity at a vacant property, or have concerns about people gaining access to abandoned buildings, please report it to Derbyshire Constabulary via our website, by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency.

Please help us keep our communities safe by sharing this message.
