Residents in Felinfoel are making sure their valuables are kept under wraps in a bid to deter thieves.
Felinfoel Communities First teamed up with the local Neighbourhood Policing Team to hold a number of free property marking days.
Residents were able to bring along any valuables such as TVs, DVD players, mobile phones, computer consoles and bikes to be marked.
Communities First development officer Amy Wakefield said: “The main crime prevention purpose of marking your property is to make it less attractive to thieves to steal it in the first place as they know that if they are caught in possession of it by the police and the police can quickly establish it is stolen property, they are in trouble. It also makes it more difficult for them to ‘cash in’. Of course it also greatly enhances the chances of you being re-united with the item which is important too.”
Carmarthenshire is one of the safest areas to live in the UK as crime figures show, however residents should not be complacent.
The Community Safety Partnership, which is made up of representatives from the county council, police, fire service and other agencies, is working hard to make the county an even safer place for both residents and visitors.
