Gold Burglary Crime Prevention Advice

Gold jewellery and other valuable items can be attractive targets for criminals. Taking a few simple precautions can help keep your belongings safe:

Keep jewellery and valuable items out of sight and away from windows.

Store high-value items in a secure safe where possible.

Photograph and record details of valuable jewellery, including any unique markings.

Consider registering valuables on a property database such as Immobilise.

Ensure doors and windows are locked, even when you are at home.

Use security lighting and alarms to help deter opportunistic offenders.

Be alert to suspicious activity in your neighbourhood and report any concerns promptly.

If you have elderly relatives, friends or neighbours, please share this advice with them and encourage them to take steps to protect their valuables.

Report suspicious activity:

101 or report online via the West Yorkshire Police website

Always dial 999 in an emergency or if a crime is in progress
