Crime Alert - Burglary

Crime Alert - Burglary

Dear Resident,

We have received a report of a garage being broken in to in the area where your live. The garage had an “up and over” style door. Please make sure that all of the doors and windows to any out buildings you have are locked and secure when not in use. With regards to “up and over” garage doors, it would be worth considering the installation of a lockable bollard that can be placed in front of the door to prevent it being opened when the garage is not in use.

Remember to keep your own property secure to reduce the opportunity for thieves, remember WIDEN.  You can watch a short video on WIDEN here:

To assist us in identifying stolen property please consider property marking high value items using Forensic Marking or UV pens.  You are also advised to register property at www.immobilise.com which is a free on-line property register used by police forces nationwide to reunite stolen goods to their owners. All you have to do is register on-line and then upload properties electrical items serial numbers.

If you have a burglar alarm ensure it is set and working.

Please also find attached the Police Crime Prevention Handbook which covers a broad range of crime prevention advice.

Thank you

Humberside Police
