"I'm only popping out for 5 mins!" 

As tempting as it is to leave windows open with the warmer weather, it is not worth the risk.

Each year a number of burglaries are reported during the summer months, and often it is opportunist thieves taking advantage of homes left insecure.

It’s vital to leave your home locked and secure whenever you leave it.

Remember: Close and lock doors and windows

Don't leave valuables on display.

Keep side gates/garages locked.
