Despite students being more prepared for living in the private rental sector, you’re unfortunately still more likely to be burgled than other sets of people. Students are often targeted as you tend to be a lot of valuable items (laptops, tvs, phones & tablets, just for starters!) in your houses. Shared houses and student areas can be an attractive target for burglars!
Selly Watch helps keep you one step ahead of a burglar, by letting you know what’s happening in your area.
Selly Watch is here to arm you with the knowledge and awareness you need to enjoy your time at University crime-free. The scheme’s website gives you all the information, contacts, facts and figures about crime in Selly, tip on how to prevent it and guidance about what to do if you’re a victim.
You can also sign up to the free Selly Watch text & email services to get regular and relevant alerts!
