When out at Night Leave on a Light!
Opportunistic thieves prefer to work when they are hidden by the darkness so most burglaries
occur at night. This means it’s no surprise that the number of burglaries increases as the nights
get longer during the autumn and winter months.
By making sure all your doors and windows are always locked, leaving lights and/or televisions
on to make your home look occupied when it’s not, we can begin to reduce the number of
burglaries. Please take the time to read out five top tips below to help tackle this increasing
number of burglaries.
Top 5 tips to make your home more secure during the winter months
You can purchase crime prevention items from our reception at Stroud Police Station, Light
timers £2.20, Shed Alarms £8.00 and Smartwater £10.50 are just a few of the popular items that
we sell. Smartwater is a good way of marking your property with a unique code to you and
makes reuniting you with your property easier and thieves don’t like it.
Have you also thought about joining a local Neighbourhood Watch group?
Essentially it concerns crime prevention but, just as importantly, it involves neighbours working together as a community to make their area a safer place. This in turn instils a sense of security amongst residents, knowing their homes and other property are being cared for by their neighbours.
This, and an improved social contact, are the hallmarks of a successful Watch.
