Good Afternoon There has been an attempted garage burglary in the Station Road area Sandal/Agbrigg. This occurred early hours of 23/01/25 Please consider the following precautions and advice: Door defenders/garage door blocker – these fit to the outside of the garage door and has a T bar shaped restrictor and a quality locking device. Coach bolts to secure the shed hinge hasp and staple as it uses a nut and cannot be easily pulled away. Use a closed shackle padlock.
Lock large items together – makes it harder for them to be removed in bulk.
If you have a household alarm fitted think about extending the system into the garage area or use a standalone/battery operated sensor alarm.
Security marking – to improve the chances of getting them back in the event of loss or theft. Consider setting up a Neighbourhood Watch scheme. Please see the attached leaflet for further information/advice, this can also be found on https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/advice/home-security/home-security/shed-and-garage-security
