Did you know that almost a third of the homes burgled in Lambeth had been left unsecured?
Stop crime before it happens

It sounds simple but there are small steps you can take to make your home less attractive to a burglar.
- LOCK THEM OUT. We know as many burglars enter through a window as through a door. Close and lock all your doors and windows.
- KEEP THEM GUESSING. The nights are getting longer. So leave a light on when the streetlights come on. It keeps burglars in the dark.
- HIDE AND KEEP. Always keep valuables, like laptops and tablets, out of sight and never leave them near a door, letterbox or window. Double check if they have been left in sight.
- DOUBLE LOCK. Shutting isn’t locking, and it won’t keep the burglars out.
Most burglaries in Lambeth take place during the day, peaking between 2-5pm. Don’t let your home be one of them. Be a hero. Stop crime on your doorstep. Please visit the Met police website for more burglary prevention advice.
