    Police advice

    With darker afternoons and evenings, residents are also urged to consider security arrangements around their homes to limit the chances of burglaries taking place.

    Officers advise people to:

    • Not leave packaging on display outside, or near their bins, as it advertises what burglars may find inside your home.
    • Consider getting CCTV, security lights or a burglar alarm.
    • Make sure all valuables are insured and consider marking them with a forensic solution, visible under UV light.
    • Arrange for people to collect mail if you are away and put bins away so they can’t be climbed on. Also be careful what you post online regarding valuables and your movements.

    Any suspicious behaviour should always be reported to Kent Police, straight away, via our website, live chat or 101 (or 999 if a crime is in progress).
