Property Marking Machine
I am delighted to report that Streete Parish Park will be the venue for the official launch of the Community Marking machine. I have been working on this project with Westmeath County Council for several years and am delighted that Streete Watch Community Alert group have been chosen to launch the machine. The Garda Crime Prevention Officer will be on hand to answer any questions and our trained volunteers will demonstrate how the machine works.
This is another project which has been overseen by Westmeath County Council PPN and the Joint Policing Committee, in response to an identified need to find ways to prevent crime, especially theft in rural communities. The machine stamps the owner’s Eircode into the item. Warning stickers and local signage are used to draw the thief’s attention to the fact that items are marked n the area to deter thieves from targeting property in the area.
It also makes it very simple to reunite a person with their property if the Gardai recover stolen goods, as the Eircode immediately links that item to where it came from. Items such as farm equipment, garage and garden tools, power tools, computers and electrical equipment, golf clubs, musical instruments bicycles, and much more can be marked.
