Residential burglaries - Crofton

Dear Resident,

We have seen a spate of residential burglaries in the Crofton area recently, if you have any information regarding these burglaries, or you have noticed any suspicious activity in the early hours of the morning on your doorbell CCTV, please get in touch. 

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you to consider your own home security.

It’s really important that you have adequate levels of physical security on your doors and windows and that your doors and windows are in good condition. It’s equally as important that you use the security that you already have. Making upgrades around your home doesn’t necessarily have to cost a lot of money. Basic areas to consider when reviewing the shell of your property are:

Cylinder locks are present on the majority of UPVC doors, and we are aware that some offenders have developed a way of overcoming them to then gain access into a home. West Yorkshire Police have led on this issue nationally with colleagues at Secured by Design and industry/trade authorities such as the British Standards Institute, the Door & Hardware Federation, and the Master Locksmiths Association. There are now ways that you can reduce the opportunity for a euro-cylinder burglary to take place at your home. For more information, please take a look at the home security pages on our website
