Crime Prevention

If you own a keyless ignition vehicle then please consider purchasing a faraday pouch to keep your fob secure. For all vehicles a great security measure is to have a steering lock. Please park your vehicle in a visible and well-lit area when possible.

Please consider fitting anti-snap locks to increase your properties security. Composite doors tend to be stronger than UPVC so if you are planning on getting a new one, please consider a composite as opposed to UPVC. If you have a porch on your property remember to lock it as much as possible as an open porch can encourage opportunists.

If you own a vehicle then please consider purchasing anti-theft screws. These screws cannot be unscrewed using a standard screwdriver; therefore making your number plates more secure. These can be purchased from most retail car shops.

All the best,

PCSO Mike Beard 31795
