Now that the darker nights are drawing in, we've got some safety tips for you to share with family and friends: 💡 Leave a light on in more than one room, such as the lounge and bedroom.
🏡 Make sure your front door is well lit and fully visible from the street, also think about security lighting and the rear and side of your property.
🌳 Keep shrubbery and hedges at the front pruned to below 1 meter to remove cover for a burglar to work unseen and allow visibility by neighbours.
📹 Consider having a good quality CCTV system installed.
🪟 Keep your curtains closed at night - if you're away, ask a friend/family to close them for you.
🔑 Don't leave valuable items or car keys on view near your front door - ❗If you have a keyless car, pop to one of our community engagements and ask us about FREE faraday pouches, or purchase one online.
