THE
POLICE IN CHISWICK Christmas Crime Prevention
For those
of us who are about to start our Christmas shopping, it is important to
remember that thieves are beginning theirs as well
Please consider the following advice when purchasing and storing your
Christmas presents
In
The Car
Try to keep
all property out of view, especially when parked
Ensure that your vehicle is locked with alarm and immobiliser activated
where fitted
Be particularly careful when unloading your car as we all have a tendency
to leave the car unlocked with the doors open as we empty it
At Home
If at all possible, do not put your presents under the tree until late on Christmas Eve
After Christmas
Try to remember not to leave the empty boxes outside your homes after Christmas – this may advertise all your new purchases. If possible, put the wrappings and boxes in bin liners or take them to the local refuse tip yourselves
