POLICE have issued advice to the public in Derry about securing their sheds and garages against thieves.
The external buildings are rich pickings for thieves if they are not locked.
The PSNI’s Crime Prevention advice is as follows:
Consider fitting some external lights to make your garden less inviting to thieves
Keep sheds in good condition, as well as any padlocks and grilles
Why not invest in an alarm?
Consider chaining large items together to make it more difficult for thieves to remove them
Take note of serial numbers and take photographs of experience site equipment
Lock leaders to a secure fixture in the shed or garage so you’re not helping thieves access the upper floors of your house
Lastly, look out for any suspicious activity and report to Police on 101.
