SECURING YOUR BOUNDARIES

Making your home as difficult to get into as possible

will help deter criminals, and that starts with your

boundaries

Make sure your front wall is no more than 1 metre

high, so a burglar could be seen from the street.

Make your side and driveway gates are the same

height as the boundaries around them.

Metal side and driveway gates are good because

they allow intruders to be seen. Add extra

security with an anti-climb top.

Gravel driveways and paths make a silent

approach difficult.

Store wheelie bins or other potential climbing aids

behind locked gates, so burglars can’t climb up on them and use them as a ladder.

Wooden gates can be secured with two hasps and

staples and two closed shackle padlocks near the top

and the bottom, to prevent leverage.

PREVENTING CAR CRIME

To Most vehicle crime is preventable and by

taking a few simple measures, you can help

prevent your property being taken.

Always lock the doors and activate any

security devices when leaving your car

unattended, even for only a few minutes.

At home, keep your car keys safe and don’t leave them in an obvious place.

Park with care. Try to park in a busy, well-lit

area, close to CCTV cameras, particularly at

night or if you are leaving the vehicle for a long

time.

Ensure your garage is as secure as possible.

Never leave your keys in the car, even for a

second.

Never leave your belongings where they can

be seen.

Consider installing security devices such as

immobilisers, alarms or steering locks and

property mark your equipment.

PREVENTING KEYLESS CAR THEFT.

Your motor vehicle could be at risk if it is

controlled with an electronic key.

Organised criminals are able to steal some of

these vehicles in less than 30 seconds.

They do this by using specialist equipment to

programme a blank key that is compatible with

the vehicle.

They do not need the original key. This

means that they do not need to steal your key

in order to steal your motor vehicle.

To reduce the chances of becoming a victim of

keyless vehicle theft, please consider

additional security measures:

Consider using an approved car alarm,

steering wheel lock or gearstick lock in

addition to your vehicle’s own security.

Consider having an On-Board Diagnostics

(OBD) lock professionally fitted to the OBD

port.

Always park your vehicle in a well-lit area, a

garage, a staffed car park or an area covered

by CCTV.

Ensure that your vehicle is locked when

leaving it, by double checking it is secure.

Consider purchasing a tracking device, to

increase the chances of your vehicle being

traced if it is stolen.
