Burglary Prevention Advice | Chingford Green SNT

Dear residents,

Chingford Green SNT would like to remind you to take simple steps to protect their homes from burglary:

★ Always lock doors and windows, even when you are at home.
★ Leave a light or radio on when out to make your property appear occupied.
★ Avoid leaving valuable items visible through windows.
★ Consider installing CCTV, a video doorbell, or security lighting.
★ Consider installing a security alarm. A well-maintained alarm can act as a deterrent to offenders, and the sound of an alarm may alert neighbours that an unauthorised person is attempting to gain entry to a property.
★ Keep keys away from letterboxes and out of sight.
★ Report any suspicious activity, persons, or vehicles to police.

In an emergency, call 999. For non-emergency matters or to report suspicious activity, call 101 or report online via the Metropolitan Police website.

Together we can help keep our community safe.
