Cannon Hill Safer Neighbourhoods Team Newsletter 30 th July 2010 Our current ward priorities are: > Antisocial behaviour by Youths > Burglary > Theft from Motor Vehicles BURGLARY PREVENTION ADVICE Although Cannon Hill continues to have one of the lowest number of burglaries on the ward, I would like to remind all residents that the following crime prevention advice will greatly reduce the chance of becoming a victim: 1. SECURE WINDOWS AND DOORS: To prevent burglaries it is essential that all windows and doors are shut and locked whilst your property is unattended. Close ground floor windows and lock front doors overnight. 2. PREVENT ACCESS TO GARDENS: Solid gates, locks, high fences, prickly boundary bushes and anti-climb paint all prevent burglar access to your garden. 3. BE VIGILANT AND SUSPICIUOUS: Most burglaries occur in the day and suspects may be alone or with others, of varying age, may not be carrying anything and may use a vehicle especially vans. If you see someone acting suspiciously please dial 999 immediately, but do not confront them as it is best if police stop them whilst committing the offence.
