There has been a number of burglaries in  Sunbury-on-Thames lately

We would like to remind all residents of a few simple steps to prevent burglary and protect your home

Criminals look for a number of signs to detect an empty home. How can you protect your property from intruders?

Make your home secure

There are a variety of ways to make your home more secure for the future. While some security measures can be expensive, there are other things you can do that cost much less:

  • Leave lights or a radio on when you go out.
  • Break up packaging for electrical goods (TVs, laptops etc) and put it all in your recycling box. Leaving it outside will alert a burglar to your new purchase.
  • Keep ladders out of sight.
  • Don’t leave accessible windows open at night.
  • Don’t leave side gates open and make sure they’re secure.
  • Check that all doors and windows are properly closed and locked even if you are just 'popping out' for a short time.
