Sadly, rural crime…
…doesn’t appear to be slowing down as incidents continue to be reported and residents say rural crime is still a significant local issue.
In response, the government has announced increased funding for specialist rural crime units to tackle crimes such as equipment theft, livestock theft, and hare coursing. However, there are several steps you can take right away to help protect your property, such as:
- Keeping tools locked away in a secure storage toolbox
- Marking equipment and, where possible, ensuring it’s registered
- Securing all sheds, outbuildings and garages with strong locks
- Regularly checking for breaches in boundary fencing or hedging
- Installing intruder alarms wherever equipment is stored
- Investing in security lighting
- Controlling the access points to your property
- Making sure doors or windows are not left open or unlocked
- Using CCTV cameras to monitor vulnerable areas of your property
