Crime Prevention Advice To Prevent Residential Burglaries

Dear Residents,

Burglary Crime Prevention

Many people own jewellery, family heirlooms and other valuable possessions that are not only financially valuable but also hold significant sentimental importance. Taking a few simple precautions can help reduce the risk of becoming a victim of burglary.

Protect Your Valuables

Store high-value items in a secure, professionally installed safe where possible.

Keep photographs and records of valuable jewellery, including serial numbers, hallmarks and any unique features.

Consider property marking and registering valuables on a recognised property database.

Secure Your Home

Always lock doors and windows, even when you are at home or in the garden.

Use security lighting, CCTV or a video doorbell to help deter offenders.

Ensure fences, gates and sheds are secure and in good condition.

Stay Vigilant

Avoid discussing valuable possessions publicly or sharing details on social media.

Be aware of unexpected callers and report any suspicious behaviour, vehicles or individuals in your neighbourhood.

Look out for elderly or vulnerable neighbours and encourage them to take simple security measures.

For further crime prevention advice, please visit the GMP website.

Please continue to look out for your neighbours and remain vigilant. By working together, we can help keep our communities safe.

If you see a crime in progress, call 999 immediately. To report suspicious activity or other non-emergency concerns, contact Greater Manchester Police via 101 or online.

Thank you for your continued support.

Chadderton Neighbourhood Policing Team.
