Operation Bumblebee & Crime Prevention Operation Bumblebee is a Met wide anti-burglary campaign re-launched this month. There will be additional police activity in the area and there is an opportunity for everyone to assist. There can be an increase in crime at this time of year as the nights draw in, please help us keep crime down Wimbledon Park SNT would like to remind you about home security in preparation for the clocks turning back next weekend. With the evenings getting darker sooner, it is important to remember that properties are easier to identify as being unoccupied if they are in darkness. This can make them more vulnerable to opportunist thieves. Please make use of timer switches for lights when not at home, do not leave valuables on display, secure your doors and windows and make sure that alarms are set if fitted. These simple steps can make a big difference to the incidence of burglary and we are keen to keep crime rates down. The team can provide home security information if you would like assistance. We have information packs we can deliver to you and access to property marking equipment to help safeguard your possessions. We can also arrange a crime prevention survey with our crime prevention officer if there are more specific concerns. Almost every road is covered by a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and we would encourage everyone to look out for their neighbours and report any suspicious activity. We also have a growing number of people signed up to our dog watch scheme where people using the park and other open spaces are encouraged to report suspicious or anti-social behaviour to us.
