Operation Winter Nights 2011
As the nights get darker please remember the following tips to keep your home secure:
When you go out, always close & lock the external doors & windows - even if you are just going out for a short time/distance.
Use timers for lights & radios if you need to be away from home overnight or when you are on holiday, they will create the impression someone is in.
Never leave sheds or garages unlocked ESPECIALLY IF THE GARAGE CONNECTS TO YOUR PROPERTY.
Don’t leave your doors or windows unlocked if you leave valuable items near them i.e. handbags, mobile phones, car keys.
SNEAK-IN BURGLARY
Sneak-ins are through unlocked doors & windows, usually at the back or side of the house, when not in use keep all doors & windows locked.
