The Kenilworth Safer Neighbourhood Team, all at Warwickshire Police and Kenilworth Watch News would like to wish all members of the community a Merry Christmas. We hope you enjoy this festive time and you keep safe throughout the period. We will be working throughout the Christmas period primarily to respond and deal with emergencies but also to patrol and help keep Kenilworth’s community as safe and secure as possible.

Have a great Christmas!

Householders are reminded that if you are going away for a few days to make sure you take sensible steps to protect your home and property.

• Get a neighbour to pop in and out to draw the curtains in the evening and undrawn them in the morning if you can and ask them to remove any post that’s been delivered.
• Put some lights on time clock devices so that when the evening comes lights go on in your home.
• Don’t leave vehicle keys inside the home if you are leaving your vehicles at home whilst you are away.
• If you haven’t got one think about a monitored burglar alarm.
• Consider infra-red operated security lights that come on when people approach your home.
