Do It Yourself Seasonal Thieves

THE Police are warning of a marked increase in the numbers of burglaries to garages, sheds, and other out buildings.
Such an upward trend is, apparently, a seasonal occurrence and as we head into Spring and the serious gardening and DIY activity begins, tools and garden equipment become more saleable by offenders, and therefore more desirable.

Everyone is asked to take extra care with the security of these buildings and both literature and advice is available on security or you can seek from local Crime Reduction Advisors.

The main advice is to try to keep and eye on your neighbour’s property, and ask them to do the same for you. If you see anybody or anything suspicious, report it immediately; even small things can be very important.
