As the holiday approaches, and we are preparing to spend some much needed time with family and friends, so to criminals are planning and taking this period as an opportunity to break into homes. According to the SA Stats more than 50% of all crimes experienced by SA home owners during the holiday season had to do with housebreaking. So before you head off ensure you home is safe.
1. Make sure your alarm is working properly and inform your
armed response company that you will be away on holiday
2. Install sensor lights on your property. Ask a friend or neighbor to
switch on your lights at night this creates the illusion of
occupancy.
3. Get a house sitter
4. Do a security check. Ensure all your windows and doors are
locked securely.
5. Do not leave any tools or garden items like garden hose or
toys laying around, lock it away securely in your garage or
garden shed
