Dear Residents
Over the Christmas period you will now be aware that there were a number of residential burglaries as well as thefts from cars and vans. It is therefore a good time for you to consider registering details of your value possessions on the free Immobilise Property Register - web site immobilise.com
Immobilise is the world's largest FREE register of possession ownership details and has been helping to reduce crime and reunite recovered property with its rightful owners for over two decades.
Immobilise can be used by members of the public and businesses to register their valued possessions or company assets.
All registered items and ownership details are then viewable by all police forces on the national property database this is a benefit unique to Immobilise users.
It also assists us in investigating criminal activity involving stolen goods.
What items can be registered?
Most items can be registered on Immobilise and there are a range of tracking and marking solutions available from their website to suit most situations.
