NEIGHBOURHOOD police officers (in Somerset) have been out and about with a mobile high-security shed to raise awareness of thefts from sheds and outbuildings.
PCSO Dan Arthur took a shed along to Wincanton Garden Centre to give customers an opportunity to discuss shed security.
As well as seeing how various security devices worked there was an opportunity for people to ask questions about crime prevention.
PCSO Arthur said: “The dark evenings make it easier for people to break into sheds without being seen so shed security is important.
“This is just one of several initiatives the beat team are involved in to help our residents protect themselves from crime. The event was well received by the public and we spoke to many people throughout the course of the day.” The mobile shed will be back on the road again soon visiting various parts of the district in the ‘Sheducation tour'.
