Important Community Security Notice: Tenant Vetting
We urge all property owners, particularly those managing long-term or short-term rentals, to exercise heightened vigilance when considering new tenants. Do not rely solely on appearances or verbal assurances. It is essential to actively protect your property and our broader community by thoroughly verifying rental histories. Always speak directly with at least two previous home-owners they have rented from before finalising any agreements. Proper vetting is our best defence against opportunistic crime syndicates operating within residential properties.
Watch Security Recommendations
Secure Windows: Given the high frequency of “removed windows” this month, please inspect your burglar bars and window fixtures. Ensure older wooden or aluminium frames cannot be easily unclipped or pried open from the outside.
Lock Vehicles: Do not leave valuables inside vehicles, even when parked in your driveway or at popular local spots like Stony Point.
Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice any individuals scouting properties or loitering near vacant homes, please alert the BBNW and local security structures immediately.
Stay safe, stay vigilant.
