Thousands of warning leaflets are to be distributed to the areas of Southend worst hit by burglars.
Southend Neighbourhood Watch came up with the idea and design for the fluorescent leaflet, which says: "Burglars have been active in your area lately. If you see anything suspicious phone 999".
The leaflets are due to be delivered to residents living in Southchurch Boulevard and the tower block in Coleman Street.
The areas were chosen based on police burglary statistics.
