REDDITCH residents are being urged to protect their properties when they are out and about or away this festive season.
Burglaries in the area are an ongoing issue, but the local Safer Neighbourhood Team are hoping to help people secure their homes by offering some simple advice.
Making sure doors and windows are locked and installing a burglar alarm are a good place to start, but making your home look ‘lived in’ when you are away can also be a good deterrent to criminals,
By using timer switch lights and telling a trusted neighbour if you are going away so they can open and close curtains and pick up post might make a real difference to potential break-ins.
For those who want to make their homes really secure, using a properly installed safe and security lighting may also be option to consider.
