Crime Prevention - Pickpocketing

Crime Prevention - Pickpocketing

Good afternoon, Hounslow East Residents,

Just like that, Friday is here again. To all the residents heading out this weekend. Here is a little crime prevention to prevent you or others close by from being a victim to pickpocketing. Pickpocketing is an ongoing issue around Hounslow High Street, Kingsley Road & London Road due to the busy nature of stores. 

With summer here, shopping could be your priority this weekend. If you are heading out with your children in a pram for example, then do keep an eye on where you leave your belongings. It is easy to leave your pram at the end of a clothing isle for a short second due to the pram not fitting/too busy. However, this is the perfect time for a pickpocket to strike. 

Have a little read on do’s & don’t around pickpocketing on the metropolitan police website link below for a lot more crime prevention tips:
