There has been a recent increase in garage burglaries in the area and the aim of this update is to try and prevent any further incidents. Taking some simple security steps, such as locking your garage when you are not in it, or fitting extra locks, alarms or exterior lights will make it much more difficult for any potential thief.
If you would like to speak to an officer about home security then you can contact a member of the Bishopthorpe Safer Neighbourhood Team on the general North Yorkshire Police telephone number, 0845 60 60 247 or e-mail

somebody tired to break the lock on my garage about six months ago. After putting a bolt on the sliding mechanism they will have no chance now.
