Our routine daily patrols are seeing far too many garage doors open in full view of the road and pedestrian users.
Inside garages were seeing expensive push/motor bikes, gardening tools, fishing and sporting equipment just to name a few.
On top of this owners and occupiers of these premises are out. Considering the large amount of reports of property theft and burglaries though unlocked doors and windows it is very disappointing the crime safety message is not getting through to these people, with the majority doing the right thing.
