Police Advice:

Unfortunately we are experiencing a lot of Non Dwelling ( Sheds, Garage’s) breaks along the A38 Corridor  over the last 2  months. There have also been attempts in the villages surrounding Stroud.


Although many people take steps to protect their homes and the property inside them, they often leave valuable equipment in gardens and unsecured sheds, providing easy pickings for opportunist thieves.


Sheds can be full to the brim with power tools, cycles and garden equipment. Most burglars know that behind the door to your shed there could be an Aladdin’s Cave of many thousands of pounds worth of expensive equipment. Most items that can be stolen from a shed can be easily resold online or at a car boot sale, so make life a bit harder for a thief and protect your valuables.

Most sheds are not strong enough to withstand a determined attempt to break into them, so wherever possible find an alternative secure location for your equipment, such as a locked garage or your house.


A few tips to improve shed security:
