Shed Safety Check!

Monday 9th May 2011

Police in a North East Derbyshire village are visiting local allotments, community centres and schools to remind people about shed security.

Officers from the Eastern Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) are visiting locations around Grassmoor offering summer safety tips and security checks to prevent shed and outbuilding burglaries.

The "Why let them get away with a shed load" initiative is aimed at increasing awareness of garden security.

PCSO James Land said: "At this time of year, we often see an increase in the number of sheds and garages being broken into and items being stolen from gardens.

"We want people to be more security conscious to help prevent opportunist thieves from getting their hands on your stuff."

Officers will also be providing security locks and shed alarms that will be fitted free of charge, where necessary.

The team will be at the following locations for residents to drop in and speak to:

Mill Lane Allotments - Sunday, May 15th from 9.30am - 11.00am;           
Gill Lane Allotments - Sunday, May 15th from 11.30am - 12noon; 
Community Centre, New Street - Monday, May 16th from 9:30am - 10:30am;
Grassmoor School, New Street - Tuesday, May 17th from 3pm - 3.30pm.

If you would like more information about this initiative, email the team on claycross.neighbourhoods@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk, or visit the website www.derbyshire.police.uk or call your local Safer Neighbourhood team on 0345 123 3333.
