Cumbria Constabulary has launched its annual campaign to help you keep your property safe and reduce burglary and theft in the lead up to Christmas.

“Don’t let thieves steal your Christmas” campaign will run to the 31st December, with information and advice to help you protect your property and possessions.

Cumbria Constabulary and partner agencies will continue to help protect residents from becoming victims of a crime and step up their efforts to deter offenders and raise awareness of the steps that residents should take to protect their homes and Christmas presents over the festive period.

Thieves can target houses with Christmas presents on view so we would urge everyone to be vigilant – 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

Posters and leaflets with crime prevention messages will seen across Cumbria in the coming weeks and will be a reminder to people to make sure their homes are secure when they leave.

For more information or advice on home security, or to report any suspicious activity to a police officer please contact a member of your local policing team on 0845 33 00 247. If you witness a crime in action, always dial 999.
