Essex Police is organising a  free property marking event at the Old School Community Centre (& Café), Dunmow Rd, Takeley on Saturday 18th May from 10am to 1pm.

Essex Police will be giving advice and marking up any tools and equipment brought along. Having tools marked helps deter theft, makes it more difficult for stolen equipment to be sold on, and makes it easier to reunite tools with their owners.

Find more information on how to protect your property with security marking on the Essex Police website.
