This is a general reminder to keep your home safe and secure against burglary this summer with a few points to remember.

Is your back gate your weak spot….
Install strong fences and gates and make sure that they are always kept locked. Make it difficult for burglars to climb over by adding trellis and spikey plants.

Increase the visibility of the entrances and exits of your home….
Cut back high bushes that may block your neighbour’s view of your home, burglars do not like to be seen, or caught.

Close and lock any windows or doors….
Check what valuables are on display and can be seen from the outside of your home. Keep them away from view.

Sheds, garages and garden items….
Always lock your garage/shed and consider installing alarms. Any valuable tools, bikes etc. make sure they are secure locked away out of sight.

CCTV or digital doorbells…
Install external CCTV or digital doorbells, burglars do not want to be seen or caught.

Many thanks
