Hawkinge Neighbourhood PC Trevor Moody is inviting the local community to have their valuables security marked free of charge.

PC Moody will be at the Lidl supermarket in Haven Drive, Hawkinge from 3.00 pm to 6.00 pm on Saturday 3 November.

People can bring any item they wish to be marked including bikes, mobile phones, sat navs, MP3 players, cameras, gardening equipment, tools, laptops and so on.

PC Moody will mark the item with the ownerâ€™s postcode and house number using invisible ink that can only be viewed using UV equipment, which makes it easier to identify if it is stolen, and also acts as a deterrent to thieves.

Special posters can be downloaded if residents don't want Halloween trick or treaters to call.
