Crime rises in Cambuslang as temperature soars

THE recent good weather has meant a rise in crime in the Cambuslang area over recent weeks.
At their most recent meeting, Cambuslang Community Council were told that the lighter nights and warmer weather are resulting in more crimes being detected and reported to the police.
And officers have warned the public to be vigilant, especially if they are having a barbecue or have left their garden shed open.
“With more people using their gardens with the better weather, we’re also finding there’s been more thefts of barbecues from gardens, etc, and with people leaving their back doors open, there’s more opportunities for thieves as well.
“We’ve found the people are setting their barbecues up, and in some cases leaving their garden sheds open, and when they’ve gone back inside some thieves are taking advantage of this. With back doors being left open, they are being targeted too.
“We’re going round door to door, and we would urge local people to be more vigilant.”

GARDIEN TIP: All items of any reasonable value should be Property Marked and sheds should be made as secure as possible. There is a full range of advice and solutions at www.garden-security.co.uk
