shed and fetch out those trusty garden tools that you use to keep
your garden looking great.
Wait, the sheds already open, where’s my mower?
Yes your shed has been burgled Sheds now days are full of all sorts
of valuable items , so protect it, fit a good lock, shed alarms are
available , consider good security property marking of items E.G
Smart water . Make sure it’s hard for thieves to get into your back
garden, lock the gate, fix the fence, use anti climb paint, fit Pricka
strip consider CCTV the list goes on. Of course once thieves are into
your back garden not only is your shed vulnerable, but so is your
house. For more advice visit: www.saferhomes.co.uk
West Midlands Police are working to increase the number of
Neighbourhood Watch schemes across the force area. Here in
Kingstanding we are very keen to set up some schemes. We are looking for residents who
are keen to set up a watch scheme as either a coordinator or a member. Such a group is
very effective when working together to protect each other’s properties at all times by
reporting anything suspicious that may happen in your neighbourhood. We are committed to
working in partnership with local watch schemes by sharing info and holding local meetings,
and the distribution of crime prevention advice. If you are interested please
Email:Kingstanding@west-midlands.police.uk
To contact us in an emergency call: 999. For non-emergency call: 101.
