I wanted to provide you with an update regarding burglary, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.
Good morning Stamford Hill West Residents!
While our neighbourhood is a great place to live and work, we must all take proactive steps to enhance to enhance security and protect our homes and businesses.
Here are some key burglary prevention tips to help safeguard our community.
Secure all entry points – always lock doors, windows and gates, even if you are stepping out for a short time.
Light your property – criminals prefer the cover of darkness. Install motion-sensor light around your home and businesses to deter suspicious activity.
Use security cameras and alarms – visible security cameras and alarm systems are strong deterrents. Make sure they are functional and positioned to cover all entries.
Be alert and report suspicious activity – if you notice anything unusual, report it immediately. Stay connected with neighbours and share information about any concerns.
Secure Vehicles and Valuables – never leave valuables in plain sight inside cars. Ensure vehicles are locked and use anti-theft devices if possible.
While we will continue to pursue burglars in the area, there are steps you can do to help keep your property safe. Make sure that you: Double lock your door every time you leave the house If you can, move garden furniture or bins away from windows so that thieves cannot use them to gain access. Use laminated glass or security film on ground floor and accessible windows. Use a sash stop if you have sash windows to prevent people opening them enough to climb through. If your windows open outwards, use a key operated lock – check these are locked before leaving the house. Make sure all valuables are out of sight. Keep handbags and keys away from letterboxes or cat flaps. In the evening shut the curtains and leave lights on. Set your burglar alarm Lock your shed or garage Mark, register or record your valuables.
