Crime & Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Report for November 2011
Although Crime and Antisocial Behaviour in Cumbria and the Upper Kent area remain low, please remember that prevention is still the best way of ensuring this does not change. So by making sure that doors and windows including those in outbuildings are kept locked, that tools & machinery are kept out of sight and remember to remove ignition keys from farm vehicles including tractors and quad bikes we can keep crime out of our communities.
Also as Christmas approaches we offer further advice
Don’t let thieves steal your Christmas
Police offer the following top tips to keep your house safe:
• Don’t leave gifts on show
• Keep gifts, cash & valuables safe & well hidden so they can’t be seen or reached by thieves
• Lock doors & windows before you go out, removing keys from locks & keep them out of reach
• Leave a light on in a room & draw curtains when you go out at night
• Always park in well lit areas or secure car parks if possible when out shopping
