Winter burglary tips
YOUR actions could make your home less vulnerable to burglars this winter.
Traditionally the numbers of break-ins go up by as much as half when it gets dark earlier.
Simple measures such as leaving lights on in the main rooms and keeping a radio switched on and tuned into a talk radio station can make all the difference. This makes the house look occupied and burglars tend to avoid homes when someone is there.
Lights can be kept on a timer when you are out.
