  • Police – Security & Vigilance Message

    POLICE ARE URGING PUBLIC TO INCREASE THEIR VIGILANCE AROUND HOME AND VEHICLE SECURITY 

    Police are urging the public to increase their vigilance around home and vehicle security with the darker nights.

    To prevent the seasonal increase in burglaries and theft from motor vehicles, householders and motorists are asked to follow some simple crime prevention advice to keep their property safe.

    Residents should avoid leaving their homes unlit in the evenings for example, as a house in darkness is more likely to attract the attention of burglars. Vehicles should also ideally be parked in a well-lit and secure place.

    Making sure windows and doors are locked can be a deterrent for an intruder, as well as keeping valuables out of sight and away from letterboxes – or anywhere else that is easily accessible Many burglaries are opportunistic crimes, where offender has identified an open window or insecure door and easily let themselves into your home.

    Those that live in an area previously targeted by thieves or those that are planning to increase their home security could consider installing smart technology such as a doorbell camera.

    f you notice any suspicious activity or believe a crime to be in progress you are asked to call the police immediately on 999. If you feel that you have information about crimes being committed you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

    For more advice and guidance on home and security can be found on our website: https://news.mailshot.norfolk.police.uk/345A110B624F095501187E3D93AF4920B73C47005A3FB431BDB869F25947B7F5/D5D121EFFB479AA044CBFBA25CF4A09E/LE35advice/crime-prevention-z
