✅ Crime Prevention Tips for the darker nights

Please don’t make it easy for criminals.

Most crime is opportunistic, and offenders are looking for the quickest, easiest target. Please take a few seconds to double checks your security routines.

Ensure your vehicle is locked with no valuables left on display – even a jacket or loose change can tempt a thief. Utilise extra security measures such as steering wheel locks.

For your home, create the illusion of occupancy by using timer switches. Also consider CCTV, outdoor lighting and anti-snap locks.
