Crime Reduction Advice from Suffolk Police
- Always keep sheds locked, with a good quality close shackle padlock
- Ensure sheds are behind a secure perimeter
- Use dusk to dawn lighting
- Use hasp and staples, a padbar, or coach bolts or non-tamper screws to fasten hinges/hasps
- Security mark property, with your house number and post code
- Fit anchor points to secure items
- Have a monitored alarm fitted (i.e. texting alarm)
- Avoid storing high value items
In addition, register serial numbers of tools and equipment via immobilise.com and make a personal record. This will help identify items if they are found, and speed up the process of returning items to the owners.
