Dear KSS Clients

We have noted a recent increase in opportunistic theft within our area, with copper pipes currently being one of the primary targets. These incidents typically occur when criminals take advantage of unlocked properties, open access points, poor lighting, or unattended materials.

We urge all residents and businesses to remain vigilant by securing their property, limiting access to exposed plumbing where possible, and ensuring alarm systems are active and in good working order. A proactive approach and attention to basic security measures can significantly reduce the risk of becoming a target.

If you are considering upgrading your current alarm system or adding additional security measures to your property, our team is here to assist.
