Tania’s PCSO Report - Spring 2010

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner so most of us will be making the most of the weather and getting out into the garden. Even though crime has been quite low in Chorleywood we must not get complacent.

So I have some security advice that might be helpful to shed owners:-

  • Fix external lighting over sheds and garages.
  • Secure the windows internally with steel mesh or bars.
  • Fit coach bolts to external door hinges.
  • Buy and use a quality padlock.

If the shed is the only place you can store valuable items:-

  • Chain and padlock large expensive tools together, or to the wall.
  • Property mark valuable items with a UV pen and photograph the items for insurance purposes.
  • Try not to leave tools out in the garden especially ladders, as these can be used by Billy Burglar to burgle your house with.

Hopefully the summer days will be warm and we will be out in the garden, so while we are enjoying the sunshine be aware of your front ground floor windows being open and unattended is too much of a temptation to a burglar.

The mobile police van will be back in the village so if you want to chat to Steve or me about anything or just want to pop your head in and say hello we will be around on these dates.

  • Tuesday May 11th Lower Road

Hope to see you all safe and well in and around Chorleywood,

Tania
