Bulletin 19 August 17th – August 30th 2023
Please consider calling your Police Designing out Crime Officer (DOCO) to discuss crime prevention, but the following basic advice may be all that you need to do. The majority of burglaries are committed by burglars going around the back of the house to break in through a door or window. Making side gates higher and fitting a padlock will make it more difficult for them to get to the rear of your property. We have seen evidence of burglars lifting up a fence panel to get into rear gardens. A typical fence panel slides down between concrete posts. It can therefore be lifted up, unless secured tightly with nails, screws, grips or wedges. When you are next at the garden centre, see what they have that you can use on your particular style of fence. It need not be expensive. Do not make it easy for them and remember to keep your wheelie bin behind the locked side gate so they can't use it to climb on. Inspector Lyndsey Whatley Tandridge Safer Neighbourhood Inspector
