In May 2011, The Parish of Preston Brook experienced a number of crimes or attempted crimes on our community. These included break-ins to property, attempted break-ins to property, car theft and attempted car theft. The advice given by one of our local PCSOs included:-

Ensure that the windows and doors of your property are securely locked

Do not leave your garage open and unattended

Car keys should not be left in view or where they can be hooked through the letter box (modern cars are very difficult to steal without the key)

Ensure that cars are left locked

Do not leave in view in your car what could be taken as valuable items
