1. Since the 17 October 2010 until the 7th of February 2011 there have been a number of burglaries spread all over the North of the County. These offences are mainly day time burglaries where jewellery and other items are been stolen. and the lack of any particular pattern would suggest that more than one group of offenders are active in the county. You are advised to ensure your home is secure and any valuable jewellery is kept locked in a properly secure safe when not in use.
2. Trading Standards have issues concerning fraudulent collectors for the Help 4 Heroes organisation. Wiltshire Trading Standards have received reports of misuse within the Wiltshire areas and any incidents should be reported to Consumer Direct on 08454 040506.
3. There has also been noted an increase in thefts from sheds where cycles, copper and power tools have been the target. You are advised to security mark all property and ensure all sheds are properly secured with a good quality lock that has a hardened steel shackle and dual locking levers. Shed alarms and locks with an integral alarm can also be considered.
