Inthe last fortnight, Raglan Police has received 31 reports, including:

• 8 x Family Harm incidents

• 2 x Burglaries

• 3 Vehicle crashes

Property crime can have a devastating impact. Here are some simple steps you can take to make your home and property as safe as possible:

• Always lock your car, motorbike, bicycle or other vehicles. A car alarm, steering lock, or good quality chains are extra deterrents too. Ideally keep all vehicles in a garage or out of sight.

• When out and about, keep your belongings secure and close to you. Separate your house and car keys, especially if you have an address on the key ring.

• Don’t provide places for burglars to hide - keep bushes and trees trimmed.

• Don’t answer the door for someone you don’t know or don’t want in your home. Ask for identification if they say they represent a company. If you’re outside for an extended time, e.g. in the garden, lock your front door.

• Keep valuables out of sight - If it can be seen, it can be a target. Keep receipts, warranties, valuations and serial numbers in a safe place. Take photos or videos of jewellery, art and other precious items.

• Secure your doors, windows, sheds and garages with good quality locks. Install security stays on windows, especially those on ground level. Raglan is mainly a 40km zone and CBD a 30km zone. Be aware of the speed limits by reading the road signage.

Reminder to keep within the speed limit, wear your seatbelt and don’t use cell phone whilst driving. Zero tolerance. Enforcement will be taken. Reminder that driving slowly is ok, but pull over to the left as soon as it’s safe to do so, to allow traffic to get past. Holding up traffic behind you often frustrates other drivers who then possibly go on to overtaking dangerously. To avoid crashes be mindful of other vehicles and show patience to other drivers.

Stay safe, Raglan Police
