Tips to prevent burglary:
- Check downstairs windows and doors are securely locked before you leave or go to bed.
- Secure UPVC doors by lifting the handle and locking it to engage the security features.
- Don’t leave keys, phones or other valuables on windowsills or in any other visible place.
- Securely lock rear gates, sheds and garages.
- Keep tools and ladders locked away, as they could be used to break into your home.
- Use laminate glass where possible for any rear doors or windows. If this is not practicable, consider the use of security film over existing windows.
- Use a ‘Fake TV’ or timer switches on lamps to give the impression someone is at home.
- Consider using a doorbell camera, interior camera, or a monitored burglar alarm.
- Consider adding trellis to any side or rear boundaries to add extra height up to a maximum of 2 metres.
