Our local Police Team have highlighted that as is usual at this time of year they have noticed an increase in burglaries over the last 2-3 weeks across Camden and we are keen to pass on their advice.
In the North of the Borough there have been a number of offences in the South Hampstead area. On a few occasions the suspects have used garden tools which have been left in the garden to force open doors and windows. They have also opened up garden sheds to get tools to use in the same way.
Some people have left windows open and this has also allowed suspects to gain entry. So the message is that if anyone is gardening (!!) they should secure any tools used afterwards. If you have a shed try and fit a good strong lock to the door.
Before you leave your home just have a quick look round to make sure that everything is secure. For those of you who live in a house converted into flats, can you make sure that the main front door is shut behind you.
More information on burglary, including points about being away over Chrismas, can be found here.
If anyone wants some extra security advice, you can contact police crime prevention officer Terri Weston, she's available on tel 020 8733 6605 or e-mail Terri.Weston@met.police.uk . Terri will come out and offer you crime prevention advice and assistance.
