Dark nights - Homes

Good Morning,

Think like a thief!  👀 

Before heading to bed tonight, doing these simple checks can mean our homes stay safe and secure 🔐 

We advise on locking your doors behind you whenever you return home, but always best to double check front and rear doors are shut and locked before heading to sleep  😴 

We’ve found most burglaries happen via unlocked doors as opportunistic thieves seek out any opening that they can take advantage of  

Are all your keys and valuables out of sight, and not within reach of windows or letterboxes? 

The most common items taken in a burglary are car keys, cash and bank cards so especially keep these items out of sight  

Double check your vehicles are locked  🚗
