From the Stafford Sheriff’s Office:
With the cost of building materials on the rise, we’ve seen an increase of thefts from construction sites.
These steps can help prevent thefts:
– Utilize fencing. Make it difficult to access the work site during off hours.
– Don’t make life easy for criminals. Lock away or hide any valuable materials and tools at the end of each shift.
– Keep your job site well lit. Thieves like to operate under the cover of darkness to help them remain inconspicuous.
– Track your materials. Ensure you keep a running inventory of all deliveries in and out so you know exactly what equipment and materials are on-site at all times.
Lastly, report any suspicious activity to the Sheriff’s Office at (540) 658-4400.
