Research has been shown that there are a set of security actions which can help to provide up to 50 times more protection for your home versus no security.
This has been recommended by police throughout the country.
Here is how you can hep to protect your home:
- WINDOWS - Lock all of your windows
- INTERIOR - Put your interior lights on a timer
- DOORS - Double or deadlock your doors
- EXTERIOR - Put your exterior lights on a sensor
- NEIGHBOURS - Keep an eye out for your neighbours
As with all types of crime, prevention is better than cure. By taking some simple measures to help reduce crime such as just locking doors and windows, leaving indoor lights on a timer and putting outside lights on a sensor, can significantly reduce the chances of your home being burgled.
Most domestic burglaries are committed by opportunists. Criminals will look for homes that:
- Seem unoccupied
- Have little or no apparent security
- Have doors or windows which are left open
- Where they think they will not be seen
A home's overall impression will influence whether a burglar targets it. As a general rule, if it looks like there is someone inside, the burglar is likely to go elsewhere.
