With the darker night’s drawing in we are sharing simple ways to protect your home.

Head of prevention Superintendent Edward Hancox says “When the evenings are dark, this gives burglars a clearer understanding if a property is unoccupied. They are more likely to pick one that seems empty without lights on than one that has. If you leave a light on, or even have a light set on a timer, you will reduce the risk of an opportunist burglar targeting your home.”
