Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter
Hi Neighbours,
Don's newsletter starts off with the increase in crime & again he comments on ways we can reduce the chance of our items being stolen.
Vehicles and licence plates are popular as we know , licence plates for petrol drive offs and other types of crime.
We must be vigilant and responsible for our own items, if you leave your laptop on the seat, of your car or maybe on your kitchen table by a window guess what is likely to happen ??????
****Numerous newsletters have suggested we can reduce the personal victimisation crime by 50% by ......... “remove contents and items on display in your vehicles, install an alarm system, engine immobilizer or simply use a steering wheel lock fitted to your steering wheel, as a more affordable option."
He's put in a couple of pages on reducing burglary opportunities and preventing vehicle crime which are very helpful and there will be some points that you haven't thought of. He states that 62% of crime occurs during the day !
The Police can't be everywhere, we need to watch out for our belongings, our household security and it's nice if you keep and eye on your neighbours property if you can. That's not being a nosey neighbour it's being a kind vigilant neighbour. :-)
If you have any information which may help the Police Crimestoppers is confidential. 0800 555 111
Stay safe.
Regards
Colleen
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
