Autumn and Winter Crime Prevention

29 October 2021 By parishclerk

  • Now that the dark winter nights are upon us help protect your home, garden and sheds from opportunist thieves by following this simple advice:

  • Your home

  • Lock all windows and doors – even if you’re at home

  • A well-lit home gives the impression someone is in

  • Leave a light on or use timer switches so lights come on when it gets dark

  • Don’t leave your house and vehicle keys in the lock or on a side table in view of a window

  • Don’t leave curtains closed during the day – only in the evening and overnight

  • If you have a house alarm, use it

  • Consider installing a security light, CCTV or a doorbell camera.

  • Remember to lock vehicles and remove valuables from sight.

Make sure garden gates, garden furniture, fences and sheds are secure.

Please visit Durham Constabulary’s website for further information.
