Crime Bulletin Richmond Rural Area
November 2021
Hot topic
As the nights draw in we can often see a slight rise in reports of burglary. This is due to the fact that people are less likely to be detected in the dark. The chances of being the victim of such crimes are still very low in Richmondshire and we hope by considering the following points we can help make your homes and businesses less appealing to criminals.
· Do you have external motion censored lighting?
· Do you have adequate locks on your sheds and out buildings?
· Do you let your trusted neighbours know when you are away from your home address for long periods of time so they can keep an eye on your home?
· Do you have CCTV covering your drives and gardens?
· Do you leave valuables in clear view of your windows?
· Do you leave your car keys in view of your windows or close to your front door?
· Do you advertise on social media when you are away from home?
· Do you remember to lock your doors and windows when you go out?
With these points in mind, I ask you all to look at what security measures you currently have around your homes and gardens. I hope you take the opportunity to check your security measures in preparation for the winter months. If you feel particularly vulnerable or need any help or advice please do not hesitate to contact one of the team.
