So far, they've been seen on camera in the Epworth and Hatfield areas but they could crop up anywhere. Keep vigilant and if you see anyone acting suspiciously, call it in to Humberside Police and don't forget to email Wroot Neighbourhood Watch so that I can let the rest of you know.
See the News section for details of our new CCTV cameras being installed in the village.
Dear Residents
I just wanted to take this opportunity to send out this very last message to you all and to say thank you for all of your support over the years. I am now retiring form the Force, to which I have enjoyed policing the local residents on the Isle.
Please ensure that you take measures to keep items out of view in vehicles, homes, garages, sheds, commercial premises. Invest in good quality locks on doors and windows. The Master Locksmiths Association has information. Locks should conform to British and European Standards and have the relevant kite marks. Dusk to dawn lighting is the preferred option for domestic lighting.
Please consider defensive planting to discourage burglars climbing over fencing and gates. The RHS website will have advice about types of plants.
www.securedbydesign.com and www.soldsecure.com have police preferred specification products
Many offences are preventable by spending time identifying where security could be improved and some simple measures are not costly.
Please consider marking of property and recording on Immobilise or Bike Register https://www.bikeregister.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3NX_BRDQARIsALA3fIJuf8U-IQlzvO7_HEXvU1LgVi235LjE2LPF-gNsVfTo87mMWidEY-kaAoTaEALw_wcB
