(Lock snapping method, involves breaking the cylinder to then manipulate the lock to open.)

Where possible please make sure house alarms are set when the property is vacant or when you go to bed and decent motion activated lighting and CCTV cameras are set up at the front and rear of your property. Installing anti-snap locks at the front and rear of your house will also reduce the chance of your house being targeted. 

Take Care,

PCSO Smith
