Neighbourhood Watch Reminder!

As the warm weather continues, Burglaries across the Aylesbury Vale area also continue. In many of the offences entry has been gained to properties through insecure doors or windows. These offences are occurring both day and night.
 
It is again worth reminding watch members to be vigilant with their own security, and passing this message onto others.
 
Keep doors locked when you are in another part of the house and make sure accessible windows are not left open. This advice also applies when you are working or enjoying your garden. It doesn't take long for a criminal to enter an insecure door or window and take easily accessible items, such as handbags, mobile phones and keys and then possibly take your vehicle from outside your house.
 
Remember, Burglars don't need brains, they just need opportunities. Reducing the opportunity for crime, reduces your risk of being a victim of Burglary and Theft.
