Crime Prevention Advice

Good Morning Tottenham Hale,

Just dropping by with a quick message for you all. First of all, wishing you an early Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As we approach the festive season, please be aware that burglary rates can sometimes rise around this time. People often head away on holiday or leave valuable items visible, which can attract unwanted attention.

Here are a few tips to help keep your home safe and ensure the Christmas Grinch doesn’t pay you a visit:

1. Secure Doors and Windows

  Make sure your premises is secure when you leave.

2. Keep Valuables Out of Sight

  Don’t leave gifts visible through windows.

  Store expensive items in a safe or hidden location.

3. Neighbourhood Watch

  Inform neighbours if you’ll be away.

4. Car Security

  Don’t leave gifts in your car overnight.

5. Delivery Safety

  Use secure parcel boxes, lockers, or request signature delivery.

If you see someone acting suspiciously or looking into people’s homes, please contact the police immediately.
