With the current spell of warm weather the Aylesbury Town and Rural Neighbourhood Policing Teams are asking local residents to be vigilant with the security of their homes.
When it is warm it is easy to leave windows or doors open when either enjoying your garden, or in another part of your home. If you can’t see these windows / doors from where you are, it would be easy for an opportunist thief to gain access, steal your property and leave, without you even noticing.
Please remember not to leave accessible windows open at the front of your property when you are in your back garden and make sure that all accessible doors and windows are shut and locked before you go to bed. Don’t make life easy for opportunist criminals!
Make sure you report any suspicious activity at the time it is happening, to the Police. If you can, obtain a description of them, along with details of any vehicle they are using, especially the registration number. If the police are called at the time we stand a better chance of catching them.
Phone any suspicious incidents through to the Police via the 24 hour Police Enquiry Centre on 101, or if a crime is in progress dial on 999.
