I would like to introduce Myself as one of the new Sgts in the Fylde Policing area. Part of my NHP role is to send out messages in relation to crime prevention when needed. Throughout my years of policing I have been unfortunate to deal with lots of burglaries during the summer months due to insecurities.

We all know that the weather is unbelievably hot at this moment in time and knowing the good old British weather it will change sooner rather than later. But during this short period we would like to ask the residents of Fylde to be mindful when leaving windows and doors insecure. If you go out and about can we ensure are windows and doors are locked. I know it is very hot and you dont want to come home to a Suna but it’s better than your Jewlery or the kids IPAD being stolen. (Heaven forbid the kids wont be able to watch Youtube when they get home)

Some criminals are even cheeky enough to sneak in the house through doors being left open whilst you are sat in the front room watchig Netflix. ( Please note other TV providers are available 🙂 ) I know that we cant keep the doors shut all day long but please be switched on if you do leave it open and you are in another part of your house. All it takes is for the one person to sneak in the front door and grab your purse/ wallet or even worse your car keys.

There are no patterns of burglaries in Fylde at this moment in time but it doesnt take much for a crime spree to start. We would like to avoid it happening which is why I sent the crime prevention message.

Thanks
