General Warning
As we are fast approaching the festive season please just be aware
Police are warning shoppers in Norwich to be mindful of pick-pockets whilst Christmas shopping following a slight rise in the number of purse thefts.
Please take simple measures to protect your personal possessions.
Beware who is around you.
Keep you bag zipped up.
Be mindful of people bumping into you.
Be vigilant when using a cash machine.
Don't keep your PIN (Personal Identification Number) in your purse with your cards.
Don't carry large amounts of money all the time.
Make sure you keep the details of how to cancel your cards separate from your purse in case you need it.
It cost very little to insure all of you cards which will also include passport drivers license etc.
A shoulder bag secured over the opposite shoulder with the zip or flap next to your body is a good idea.
As I was a victim of this crime about this time last year I am very cautious. I take my time when paying for items and I make certain that my purse and cards are safely put away in my hand bag. My cards I have in a separate wallet for cards which are in a zip pocket inside by bag and the purse in another separate zipped pocket in my bag.
I might hold a queue up for a few more minutes but once this has happened to you you would not want to go through the trauma and inconvenience again.
For example I had to wait well into the New Year before I received new bank cards because of the Christmas and New Year holidays

We are away that not all people are reporting their purses stolen, thinking that they have just misplaced it. If you do loose your purse or wallet whilst out shopping please report it immediately to Norfolk Police.

Please always report incidents and anything suspicious immediately to Norfolk Police on 0845 456 4567, and where possible descriptions of person/s and index numbers of vehicles please.

Advice & Crime update 14th March 2008

GARAGES, SHEDS & GARDEN SECURITY
Spring is here Easter is just around the corner.
Now is the time when we venture outside so give some thought to the valuables you have in the garden, the shed and garage.
What security do you have in place?
Sheds if there is a window secure it also obscure it with a blind or net curtain.
It may not always be appropriate to fit a heavy-duty padlock hasp and staples as the shed door and frame may not be strong enough to support them. There is a range of smaller but sturdy padlocks, padbolts, hasps and staples that would be suitable. Always use coach-bolt fixings through the door frame.
A small shed alarm could also be fitted.
Garages
Wooden double leaf doors, again preferable to secure the doors with a heavy-duty hasp and staple, coach bolts through the doors, together with a closed shackle padlock.
Up and Over Garage doors
It is probably best not to rely solely on the centre lock provided. Fit a hasp and staple, together with a padlock. There are also mortice locks specially designed for garages doors that engage into the side frame.
Garden Security.
The most vulnerable part of the house is at the rear which is via an insecure garden
According to the 1996 British Crime survey some 60% of all domestic burglaries took place via the rear or side windows and doors, this is the national average.
Check on your fencing especially since the strong winds.
Install a gate with a secure lock; lock tools etc away in a secure shed or garage.
Items such as ladders chain to a secure structure with a strong padlock.
Borders can be planted with 'unfriendly' shrubs i.e. Pyracantha, Berberis, Hawthorn, Gorse, Holly, and Mahonia just to mention a few.
Install security lighting
Also don't forget to property mark al of your items.
At Newton St faiths Newton Close on the 8th March 2008 a rear garden was entered and entry gained to a shed. Approx £5000 of fishing tackle was stolen.
If you require any crime prevention advice then please contact Norfolk Police and ask for the crime Prevention Officer for your area.
Please always report incidents and anything suspicious immediately to Norfolk Police on 0845 456 4567, and where possible descriptions of person/s and index numbers of vehicles please.

 Make certain the vehicle is locked and always park in a well light area.
