Everyone is reminded that during summer, we have to be extra vigilant to help prevent burglaries from Garden Sheds and of Garden Furniture.

Most sheds are vulnerable to break ins so please ensure that
1. Windows are obscured with plastic sheeting.
2. Good quality locks are in place.

As for garden furniture, please where possible lock away in sheds or garages when not in use.

Good exterior lighting is also a good deterrent.

We were also shown plastic guards which fit to the top of fences to deter people climbing and also unwanted animals.
There are some restrictions in using these so for more information please contact 101 or Biddulph Police and Support Officers.
