Advisory

Due to the recent rise in thefts from construction sites Police are reminding construction managers/owners to secure all tools and equipment at the end of each working day. Also, keep a record of the serial numbers of all tools/equipment so that in the event your property is stolen and subsequently found, there is a way to identify your property.
