From our Police Community Service Officer
Summer is here and at this time of year we traditionally experience an increase in reported thefts from gardens and driveways.
Minimise the likelihood of you becoming a victim by taking some simple precautions, use good quality locks to secure your shed and garage, chain cycles and other valuable equipment together using high security chain or cables and using a good quality padlock. Run the chain through eye bolts secured to the strongest part of the structure of your shed or garage.
Theft of trailers and caravans is seasonal so if you are an owner I would urge you to now take some basic precautions such as fitting a ball hitch lock or wheel clamp.
With the rising cost of fuel we are beginning to see an increase in theft of fuel from domestic heating oil tanks and from cars and lorries. Consider fitting a lock to your oil tank and don’t underestimate the lengths some thieves will go to in order to steal fuel from your motor vehicles. We are currently investigating offences where offenders have drilled into fuel tanks to steal petrol. My advice to you is to park your car in a garage where possible or in a well lit area.
If you see anything suspicious in your neighbourhood the usual numbers to contact us are the Force Service Centre on 0845 456 7000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
If you wish to contact me you can reach me on Voicemail 01823 363287 and 70108 at the prompt.
