BURGLARY ALERT – ROYTON COMMUNITY

BURGLARY ALERT – ROYTON COMMUNITY

As the darker evenings set in and we approach the Christmas period, Royton and Shaw Neighbourhood Police are reminding residents to take extra precautions to protect their homes from burglary.

Criminals often take advantage of longer hours of darkness, unoccupied properties, and valuable items purchased during the festive season.

Please help keep your home secure by:

Locking all doors and windows, even when at home.

Using outdoor lighting or timer switches to make your property appear occupied.

Keeping keys, handbags, and valuables out of sight.

Securing sheds, garages, and side gates.

Recording serial numbers and registering valuables on property-marking schemes where possible.

Reporting any suspicious persons or vehicles in your area.

If you see suspicious activity, report it via 101 or online. In an emergency, or if a crime is in progress, always call 999.

Working together, we can help keep Royton and Shaw safe this winter.
