CRIME PREVENTION.

SMARTWATER.
Smartwater is a way of marking any item in your home, each phial of liquid has a unique code and when registered with Smartwater HQ it links all of the items marked, to your address.
In the last year, all of the properties that have been burgled on the Sutton Central Beat have been revisited, and smartwater applied.

YOUR HOME.
Contrary to popular belief, most domestic burglaries are committed by ‘opportunist’ thieves looking for the easiest way into your home without being seen or disturbed. Often these are ‘spur of the moment’ decisions made when an easy target present itself such as an open window, valuables being left on view or lapses in security. Take some time to assess the security of your home and take positive action to upgrade it. By building home security into your daily routine you will greatly reduce the risk of a burglary taking place.

SNEAK IN BURGLARIES.
As many as one in five burglaries occur because windows and doors are left open! Particularly during the day. This increases in the summer months to one in three.
· Always keep your doors and windows secure even when you are in
· Don’t leave valuables near the door
· Make sure you keep your keys, including car keys, handy but out of sight
· Use door chains where fitted
Genuine callers will knock, wait, have identification and will usually be known to you.

ARE YOU IN?
Try to make your home look occupied while you are out. Invest in plug in timers for lamps and radios. Tune your radio to a station that has mostly talking.

WINDOWS.
One in three burglars get in through a back window. Window locks that can be seen may prevent or deter a burglar from forcing the window, because having to break glass increases the risk of attracting attention. Window locks are inexpensive and can be purchased from DIY stores and fitted easily. Remember to remove the keys from locked windows and keep them in a safe place out of sight.

BURGLAR ALARMS.
Have a look at your neighbour’s houses. If they have alarms and you do not, then you need one. An intruder alarm installed and used properly can deter burglars.

An alarm is not a substitute for installing and using good quality locks and bolts.

ALWAYS set your alarm when leaving the property or going to bed.


MAIN DOORS.
All exterior wooden doors should be fitted with at least a five-lever mortise lock. Locks however are only as good as the door and frame so make sure they are in good condition. Patio doors and French widows should have top and bottom bolts.

KEYS.
Some burglaries and car thefts are committed after keys are hooked through letterboxes and windows. Remember to keep your keys in a safe place, out of sight and well away from doors and windows

GOING ON HOLIDAY.
Cancel any deliveries of newspapers or milk. If possible get a neighbour or friend to open and close curtains and remove mail out of sight. Remember to use lamps on timer switches when it is dark.


OUTSIDE YOUR HOME.

PERIMITER SECURITY.
Don’t let your garden provide cover for the burglar. Hedges or fences at the front of your home should be limited to 1 metre in height. At the rear, hedges, fences, or walls should be 1.8 metres high. Gates should be the same height and padlocked. You can further deter a burglar climbing into your property by placing a trellis along the top of your fence or plant prickly or thorny bushes, such as berberis or roses alongside the fence.

LIGHTING.
Fit security lights. These can be floodlights controlled by passive infra red (PIR) detectors that activate when they see movement. Low wattage lights controlled by ‘dusk to dawn’ sensors stay on all night and can cost as little as 1p per night in electricity.

GARDENS.
Gardens should be clear of anything that the burglar might use to break into your home. Clear away gardening tools when you have finished. Move ladders, tables, chairs, wheelie bins or chain and padlock them to a strong anchorage point. Security mark expensive items you leave in your garden.

GARDEN SHEDS AND GARAGES.
Fit good quality close-shackled padlocks to doors and keep them locked. Add reinforcements to doors and windows including grilles. Consider wiring a shed or garage to your house burglar alarm system.

GOOD NEIGHBOURING.
If you see anyone acting suspiciously, call the police. Make a note of any vehicle registration numbers, the description of the person and the time.
