Operation Castle: Property marking and safety advice sessions

Friday, 20 November 2015
In the run-up to the festive season, residents in East Kent will have an opportunity to get their property security-marked for free.

The mobile police station will be visiting Dover as well as locations in Thanet, Canterbury, Ashford and Folkestone to offer advice to shoppers on how to keep Christmas presents and other belongings safe from burglars.

The events are part of a current campaign by Kent Police to target burglars and encourage residents to take simple steps to protect their homes from burglary.

Officers will also be offering the chance to get property security-marked.

Having your belongings security-marked not only deters thieves but also greatly increases the chances of having stolen or lost property returned to you.

The mobile police station will be in the Market Square, Cannon Street, Dover on Tuesday 24 November, Friday 27 November and Monday 30 November between 11am and 2pm.

Search for #MobilePoliceStation on Twitter for daily updates on the location of the mobile police station.

Residents can register their items on the world's largest property database so that if they are stolen, they can be reunited with the owners - and so the offenders can be prosecuted. You can register your property in just a few minutes by visiting www.immobilise.com.
