There have been several thefts of power tools and other property from outbuildings and vehicles across the county, and police share some crime prevention advice:
✅ Please consider fitting a good quality closed shackle padlock along with a shed alarm.
✅ Use ground anchors to secure large items like ride on mowers and quad bikes. In addition, fit a vibration alarm to said items.
✅ Use a good quality chain and padlock to secure all power tools together to make it difficult to transport.
✅ If selling items on social media, please do not take photographs of the item outside your property and do not disclose your address. If possible, choose a location that is covered by CCTV to meet the potential buyer.
✅ Mark your property with visible markings. For further information please contact the two-crime prevention tactical advisors: christopher.phillips@lincs.police.uk and sally.picker@lincs.police.uk.
