Check Home Security When Gardening

Bedfordshire Police is urging residents to check their home security when they are out gardening during the warm weather after a 73 year old Caddington resident was burgled on Sunday, April 13.

The incident happened at a property in The Crescent when the resident was tending to the front garden at approximately 6.50pm.

Someone climb over the back garden fence and entered the home through an insecure back door and searched the property before removing cash, a gold ring set with sapphires and diamonds and a flower ring set with stones.

The officer in charge of this investigation, Detective Constable Helen Toms, is keen to trace anyone who saw a person or people acting suspicious in the area on Sunday but would also like to urge other residents to take extra precautions when they are out in the warm weather gardening.

DC Toms said: “All too often police get reports of people who have come in from the garden to find someone has slipped through a front or back door and grabbed easily removable items such as handbags or wallets – or even keys along with the family car.

“Most thieves are lazy opportunists and if they see a door left wide open, or possibly unlocked with the owner engrossed elsewhere, they will not hesitate to take advantage of the situation.

“It may seem inconvenient to have to lock the door when you pop out to do some gardening, but it is a lot less time consuming than changing locks, filling in insurance forms and replacing property.

“People should also think about the security of their garages, sheds and outbuildings at this time of year because there is a ready market for items such as lawnmowers and gardening equipment, which should always be security marked.”

Other ways to deter burglars include:
• Fit outside security lights and put gates across side passages
• Leave lights and a radio on when you go out
• Double check fences and boundaries for weak spots
• Fit security features such as window locks, patio door locks and a burglar alarm
• Never leave keys under mats and flower pots, it’s the first place burglars look
• Keep an eye out for strangers in your street, especially if they are selling property door to door. If you are suspicious, call the police.
• Help protect your neighbourhood by joining Neighbourhood Watch, or becoming a co-ordinator
• And remember always security mark your property and take time to down load a tracker app on to your smartphone and computer equipment
