I recently joined the above service, which is a computerised messaging system, sending members information about criminal activity in a local area. The system encourages two-way communication between the Police and its members. Ringmaster members are invited to pass on the information in messages to their family and friends in the wider community.
This morning I received the following message:
This is a Ringmaster Message from Bedfordshire Police.

The offence took place between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
The offender gained access to the rear garden smashing a pane of glass in the back door and reaching through to unlock the door.

Many Burglaries can be prevented.
Your boundaries are your first line of defence against criminals.
Always secure garden gates, keep fences and wall in good repair and consider defensive planting, or trellis.
