There has been an increase in Burglary’s in and around the Babergh West area this year and we are working hard to reassure the residents with our increased patrols and crime reduction advice surgeries. We still urge all residents to be aware of any suspicious activity and to please call the Police with any information you may have.

If you see any suspicious vehicles driving slowly around your area and they seem to be out of place then please try to take down their registration numbers and pass these onto the Police by dialling 101 the non-emergency number, if it is an emergency you are to dial 999.

Please keep your homes and vehicles as secure as possible, make sure all windows and doors are securely locked and if you are going out for the evening, try to leave a light on down stairs and upstairs to give the impression that somebody is home.

If you have any information that would be of interest regarding this or any other offences, would like to report or discuss with the police, then please contact the Babergh West SNT (details below) or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.

Due to the increase in the theft of CATS you can try and protect them by the following means:

CAT Marking is available from Red Star Woodhall Business Park, Sudbury, CO10 1WH Tel 01787 880998 this costs approximately £12.00.

Install a catalytic converter protector. They come in several forms and usually consist of either a cage or a cable that clamps over the catalytic converter to keep it attached to the car under carriage. While not foolproof, the devices do make it more difficult to remove the converter, making thieves more likely to look elsewhere.

Park in well-lit areas at night. Thieves prefer to work in darkness so they won't be seen while crawling under the car to saw the converter off. Street lamps provide a deterrent since they make it more likely the thief will be spotted.

There are many ways in which you can help yourselves becoming a victim of crime. If you would like to have a tailored crime prevention survey for you, your home, vehicle or business premise, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the Babergh West safer neighbourhood team. In addition to this there is a website called www.immobilse.com, where you can register your property for FREE and improve your chances of getting it back if it is lost or stolen.
