A burglar will normally select a target that offers him the best opportunity to carry out his crime undetected and with the fewest obstacles in his path. The more steps you take to deter a burglar, the more protected you will be. Here are some simple steps that you can take to protect your home:
Remove ladders that can be used to help a burglar to get into your property.
-
- A third of burglars use a back window so fit window locks to all downstairs windows, and to easily accessible upstairs windows.
- Mark valuable possessions with an ultra-violet pen so they can be traced back to you if the police recover them.
- Always leave a spare key with a neighbour rather than try to hide it under a flowerpot or a doormat, as these are the first places that thieves will look. For the same reason don’t be tempted to hang a spare near your front door.
- Install Security Lights so that if anyone comes near your property, they can’t hide or sneak in.
- Use a secondary blocking device on all sliding glass doors by inserting a wooden dowel or stick into the track thus preventing or limiting movement
- Police and Keyholder Response in an emergency
- Guaranteed 4 hour Response times to your premis es in the event of faults
