It’s that time of year when many are planning their holidays, include crime prevention in your plans both for your home. Burglars will target unoccupied property – make sure your house looks occupied.
Have lights throughout the house on timers.... Could a friend or neighbour attend and pull curtains on at night and pull them back in daylight? Make sure no keys are in sight or left in locks, including window locks. Does a trusted neighbour have a contact number in case they have concerns? Do not advertise your absence on social media!

Message from our Crime Prevention Officer Libby Walker
Yesterday we had TWO vehicles in the Huddersfield area which were left unattended with keys in ignition and subsequently stolen. Wherever you are, however quiet in may seem, ALWAYS take your keys and lock the vehicle, even if only leaving it for seconds. In the past we have had incidents in petrol stations and for delivery drivers on residential streets.
