We are reminding residents to ensure when you are leaving your home/outbuildings unattended that you keep all windows/doors closed.

It’s so tempting to leave a window open especially during the recent hot weather period.

Over the weekend two properties were broken into whilst the occupants were not at home but had left a window open.

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of burglary and enhance the security of your home.

🔑 Always lock your doors,

🪟 Keep windows closed

🚨 Consider installing a burglar alarm or CCTV system to provide an additional layer of security.
