Homewatch

Norfolk Constabulary offers the following advice to residents:

• Householders are reminded to keep windows and doors locked and secure at all times, whether they are inside or outside the home.
• Attention should be paid to the security of sheds and garages and to the property stored within.
• Parked cars - especially those left in remote areas such as beauty spots - should be left locked and secure with no property left on display.
• Satellite navigation devices, car audio equipment, cameras, handbags and laptops should be removed from the vehicle entirely.
• People attending large scale events or out and about in busy areas should be mindful of thieves and keep handbags closed and mobile phones out of sight and kept securely on their person.
• People should mark their belongings - this will make them less attractive to steal and make it more difficult for them to be sold on.
• Be a good neighbour - If you see anyone acting suspiciously in your neighbourhood call the police.

Norfolk is an extremely safe place to live and your chances of being burgled still remain extremely low. Look at your property through a burglar's eyes, how easy would it be to steal from it? If necessary remedy any problems.
If you have information about thieves, contact Norfolk Constabulary on 0845 456 4567 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111. Your anonymity is guaranteed.
