Does anyone have any advice regarding an errant house alarm that is going off throughout the day and night?

The alarm in question is at a house at the brow of Brockley View (I know there are at least two other forum members who live on/around Brockley View like myself), where the owners of said property have seemingly gone on holiday whilst external building work is being undertaken.

It looks like the scaffolding that has been erected as part of this work is somehow triggering the house alarm to go off.

This has been going on for 4 days now - day and night - and by night I mean well past midnight. Harrowing as I'm sure you can imagine for those living in the surrounding area, considering the high-pitched alarm runs for 10 minutes each time and kicks off every 3-4 hours.

I was talking to a fellow resident yesterday but we weren't sure what course of action to take - I don't think this comes under police jurisdiction?

We were tempted to just walk over and knock the flaming thing off the wall but in the end decided that criminal damage is not the way forward

Any advice much appreciated.
