Christmas Advice from Neighbourhood Watch |
 |
 |
|
Advice about preventing seasonal crime over the festive season:
When you’re going out:
• Never leave presents on view under the Christmas tree.
• Leave a light on!
• Check that the doors and windows are shut and locked.
• During darkness hours, keep your curtains and blinds drawn.
• Don’t leave large amounts of cash in the house.
• Don't hide a spare key under the door mat or under a flower pot. Thieves know all
the good hiding places.
• Buy some timers for your lights, TV and radio so it looks like you are at home.
If you are away for a few days, make it appear
you are home by:
• Ask a neighbour to shut the curtains.
• Ask them to pick up your mail or newspapers or arrange for them to be stopped.
• Get houselights on timers
• Ask a neighbour to park their car on your drive
• Ask a neighbour to put your dustbin out on time

Police appeal for information on Burglary |
|
|
|
The Police have asked Finham residents for information to help solve a burglary:
"Has anyone seen anything suspicious on Erithway Road on 12/11/2011 between the times of 11:30 am and 2245 hrs.
During the above date/times, a property on Erithway Road was broken into by forcing open the front UPVC door in full view of the road and other houses. A neighbours dog barked at around 7 pm for no apparent reason, so the break in could have happened then during the cover of darkness but still in full view of the road at a busy time.
If anyone thinks they may have seen anything suspicious they can contact Jon Steed on the Wainbody mobile phone 07722 820593 to discuss matters further."

Check Your Security on Dark Nights |
|
|
|
As clocks go back, do your bit to protect against burglars
IT'S that time of year, when darker nights are fast approaching and West Midlands Police are encouraging residents to think about home security.
The clocks will be going back by an hour on Saturday night (29 October), and officers are asking residents to act now to help secure their home.
Simple tips include:
- Using a timer switch for lights. These are inexpensive and mean homes are not left in darkness to alert burglars to an empty property.
- Using door and window locks, even when someone is at home.
- Cancelling newspapers and milk if the property is left unoccupied for a few days.
- Keeping your shed and garage locked - your tools could be used to break into your home.
- Neighbourhood Watch is an effective way to keep your home and community safer. You can find details of how to join or set up a scheme from the partnerships officer at your local station.
