Burglaries increase 10% during the summer!
As the long summer days are upon us, more and more of us are out and about enjoying the sunshine. Unfortunately, home burglaries also increase by 10% in the summer months. Unlocked or open windows helps the opportunistic burglar get in and out of your property without being noticed.
So, don’t be a victim! Just carry out a few little checks before you leave your property:
- Close and lock all windows
- Secure all back doors
- Close and lock all the gates around your property
Outdoor thefts, unsurprisingly increase in the summer months, with children’s toys and bikes and gardening tools the thief’s most popular items to steal*.
