Good afternoon Skelmersdale,

There has recently been a burglary in your area. We are actively working to deter and prevent burglarise. We want you to be safe, so here is some tips to do so:

- Close and Lock all doors and windows even if you are out in the back garden. Burglary is opportunistic.

- Hide all keys away from letterboxes and place them in a secure place.

- Draw the curtains when you leave the house.

- Keep an eye out on your neighbours and encourage them to do the same for you.

- Report any suspicious activity to 999 or 101.

- As the winter/autumn holidays are fast approaching, ensure all presents and gifts are hidden out of sight. Also consider a motion sensor light.
