The local Police beat team have today issued a warning that there has been a recent spate of burglaries in the Arley Hill area of Cotham, which I thought it was be useful to pass on. Unfortunately, Cotham has historically been a burglary hotspot, largely due to the concentration of multiple occupancy housing which offers rich pickings. However, this has been improving rapidly due to awareness work, 'target hardening' (i.e. making houses more secure) and good old fashioned catching-the-criminals!
Anyone can sign up to the Police's e-mail alert service, which lets you know what the local Police team is up to, as well as providing information about particular crimes, appeals for witnesses and crime prevention advice. They send out a handful a week and it's generally very useful stuff.
