As Christmas fast approaches, we’d like to share a few crime prevention tips that are known to be effective at this time of year.

• Make approaching your home too conspicuous for burglars – Invest in motion sensor lights or even festive lighting.
• Be secure, especially with festive lighting – Check for vulnerabilities around the home and garden such as feeding cables through open windows.
• Create the illusion of occupancy when you’re away, especially at night. Use inexpensive light timers or a Fake TV to deter would-be thieves.

• Away over Christmas? Ask a neighbour to park on the driveway, redirect parcels, and be sure to cancel milk or paper deliveries.
• Be cyber aware and careful not to advertise your new gifts or trips away on social media! 
•  Don’t hide spare keys and use alarms if you have them.
