Keep the burglar away!


Did you Know……

 

Approximately 70% of burglaries are committed on a weekday, with the majority gaining access through the front door.

 

Burglars are often opportunistic thieves who prey on houses and flats. They seek out any opening that they can take advantage of, specifically doors and windows that are left open or unlocked or are easy to force. Anything of value that they might spot through a window will only spur them on. But it really doesn’t take much to deter these thieves – just smart thinking.

 

Burglar facts - 

 

  • Burglars target homes that they think will contain valuables. Leaving valuables on show through windows and doors such as keys, money, electronics, can increase the risk of you being targeted -  ensure all valuables are out of sight.

 

  • Burglars often look for homes with windows or doors left open or with vulnerable features that they can exploit - close and lock all your doors and windows, even if you’re only going out for a few minutes.

 

  • Burglars are aware of the times when someone is expected to be away from their house such as during the school run or holidays - if you’re out all day or going on holiday, then it’s advisable to use a timer device to automatically turn lights and a radio on at night.

 

  • Burglars typically do not want to be seen or heard and if they feel that they would be noticed by a neighbour or passer-by then they are more likely to feel exposed and may move on to find somewhere else to burgle – keep your garden maintained and use dusk till dawn lights to improve visibility.

 

  • Sheds and garages are often vulnerable as they are not that secure and contain tools and valuables – lock your shed/garage and consider property marking to make them less appealing to thieves.

 Courier Fraud


 

Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in reports of courier fraud in Cheshire.

 

What is it -

 

Courier fraud occurs when a fraudster contacts victims by telephone purporting to be a police officer or bank official. The caller might be able to confirm some easily obtainable basic details about the victim such as their full name and address.

 

The caller may also offer a telephone number for the victim to telephone or ask the victim to call the number on the back of their bank card to check that they are genuine.

 

In these circumstances, either the number offered will not be genuine or, where a genuine number is suggested, the fraudster will stay on the line and pass the victim to a different individual.

 

The fraudster will then suggest;

 

- Some money has been removed from a victim’s bank account and staff at their local bank branch are responsible.

 

- Suspects have already been arrested but the “police” need money for evidence.

 

- A business such as a jewellers or currency exchange is operating fraudulently, and they require assistance to help secure evidence.

 

Victims are then asked to co-operate in an investigation by attending their bank and withdrawing money, withdrawing foreign currency from an exchange, or purchasing an expensive item to hand over to a courier for examination who will also be a fraudster.

 

Be aware –

 

Your bank or the police will NEVER call you to ask you to verify your personal details or PIN by phone, ask you to help with an investigation or offer to pick up your card by courier.

 

You should hang up immediately if you get a call like this.

 

If you need to call your bank back to check, wait five minutes; fraudsters may stay on the line after you hang up. Alternatively, use a different line altogether to call your bank.

 

Please share this with elderly friends and family as it often those who are targeted.

 

Kind regards,
