Keep Burglars Out
some advice from
Thames Valley Police

You can take some simple steps to protect your home this Summer:

  • Lock all doors and windows when you are away from home and at night. If you have a UPVC door, remember to lift the handle and lock it with the key.
  • Install a video doorbell, alarm or CCTV system.
  • Keep all valuables and keys, including car keys, out of sight and reach of windows, doors and letterboxes. Double check vehicles are locked and store keyless fobs in a suitable security pouch.
  • Cut back shrubs and hedges to aid visibility.
  • Do not leave your home in darkness if you go out in the evening.
  • Ensure side and rear gates are in good condition and locked to prevent access to the rear of the property. Move bins away from side walls and fences.
  • Ensure sheds and garages are secure and security mark and register tools and other items you have stored there.
  • Keep ladders and gardening tools securely locked away. Do not leave them outside where they could be used to break into your home.
  • Do not advertise you are away from home on social media - wait until you return to upload any holiday snaps. Please ask a trusted friend or neighbour to keep an eye on your home while you are away.

You can find further information and crime prevention advice on the Thames Valley Police website at www.thamesvalley.police.uk. If you have any information relating to burglary or crime in your neighbourhood, please report it online at www.thamesvalley.police.uk or call 101.
