Help keep your shed safe<br />
The <strong>Gateshead</strong> <strong>Housing</strong><br />
<strong>Company</strong> and Northumbria<br />
Police are reminding residents to<br />
keep their garden sheds safe and<br />
secure.<br />
The work follows an increased<br />
amount of theft from outbuildings<br />
in the south of <strong>Gateshead</strong>,<br />
particularly in the Springwell area.<br />
The housing company’s website<br />
now has a range of top tips on<br />
keeping personal items safe at<br />

Chris Walker, Acting Sergeant from<br />
Northumbria Police, said: “There<br />
have been a number of reports of<br />
theft from garden sheds and other<br />
outbuildings in the Springwell area.<br />
“However simple things like<br />
having a secure lock, installing<br />
automatic security lighting and<br />
marking personal property with<br />
your postcode, can all make a<br />
difference to deterring thieves<br />
and tracing stolen goods.”<br />
