Dear Resident One of our current beat Priority's for the NL65 Loughborough East Beat is Burglary Prevention, and we're encouraging residents to take a few simple steps to make their property less attractive to thieves.
Mark It
Make your valuables harder to sell and easier for police to identify by marking them with your postcode, house number, or the first three letters of your address.
Consider using a police-approved forensic marking product that is only visible under UV light. These products help link stolen items back to their rightful owners and increase the chances of offenders being caught.
Don't forget to display any warning stickers or signs that come with forensic marking kits. Criminals are less likely to target properties where marked items can be traced.

Record It
Keep a record of your valuables by: ✔ Taking photographs of items such as jewellery, bicycles, tools and electronics
✔ Recording serial numbers
✔ Keeping receipts and proof of ownership
You can also register your property for free on Immobilise, the UK's national property register: The National Property Register, for Phones, Gadgets, Bicycles & More... Register Your Bike
Bicycles are a common target for thieves. Protect yours by registering it with: The National Cycle Database | BikeRegister Make sure your bike is marked and displays its registration status to deter thieves.
