Protecting Your Home from Burglars

Spring has sprung – longer days and warmer weather (hopefully) is upon us!

We want to take this opportunity as a reminder about securing your homes.
We’re heading into the time of year where our windows are being opened to get some of that fresh spring air circulating, but unfortunately, historically we see thieves using this as an opportunity to invite themselves into unoccupied homes.

Leaving ground floor windows, doors and patio doors open in the warmer weather can give burglars the perfect opportunity. If you’re upstairs or out of the room, even just for a few minutes, close them and help shut burglars out. Always close windows and doors if you’re leaving your home altogether.

Please take a few minutes to look at the advice on our website, it could be a couple of minutes which prevents your home from being burgled.

Don’t forget, if you see something suspicious, please report it to us!
