Help to prevent burglary with these tips:
Burglars look for properties that are obviously unoccupied. If you’re out all day, use a timer device to automatically turn lights on and leave a radio on at night.
Restrict access to the back of your property by keeping side gates bolted and preferably padlocked on the inside.
Lock your shed or garage and lock your bike inside to a robust fitting bolted to the ground or wall, like a ground anchor
Make sure that you keep items of value, such as jewellery, in an unlikely place or, better still, in a safe.
Make your valuables less attractive to thieves by using a property or police approved forensic marking solution only visible under Ultraviolet (UV) light.
Double-lock the door every single time you leave the house.
Consider installing an intruder alarm, which acts as a visible and audible deterrent.
