CRIME PREVENTION CRIME IN THE TRIMDONS REMAINS LOW, HOWEVER WE COULD ALL DO SOMETHING TO REDUCE THE CRIME EVEN MORE. OVER RECENT MONTHS IT HAS BECOME APPARENT THAT SOME OF THESE CRIMES COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY SIMPLE MEASURES. SUCH AS KEEPING ALL EXTERIOR DOORS LOCKED AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY, PROPERTY SUCH AS BIKES, GARDEN FURNITURE PUT INTO SECURED GARAGES AND SHEDS.
NOW THE DARKER NIGHTS ARE APPROACHING USE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS AS A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE, ALSO THOSE WHO HAVE HOUSE ALARMS ALWAYS USE THEM. ALSO DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLES ON DISPLAY IN YOUR VEHICLES. THESE MAY APPEAR STRAIGHT FORWARD PIECES OF ADVICE BUT HAVING ATTENDED CRIMES RECENTLY IT APPEARS THAT IF SOME OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS HAD BEEN USED THEN THE CRIME WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.
