Police: Beating the Wet Bandits

Just like the Wet Bandits, criminals don’t take time off over Christmas

Be sure you’re Christmas trips away from home aren’t ruined on your return by making your home as secure as possible.

– If you leave any cars in the driveway or on the street, be sure to safely secure keys away in non-obvious places. Or better yet, take them with you.

– If possible, have lights on timers or left on to look like someone is home.

– Make sure your property is secure, including gates and garages etc which may give criminals easy access to your home.

– Ask close friends and family to keep an eye on your property while you are away.

If you know your neighbours are visiting loved ones over the holidays, please look out for any suspicious activity and report it to the police immediately.
