Do you think your home is secure? It is worth knowing that in 2023 there was an average of 525 home burglaries per day in England and Wales. In 2024 there have been approximately 586 home burglaries per day! This is a big increase compared to the previous year.

Here are three simple tips to improve the safety of your home:

• Make sure that you install security measures such as CCTV, alarms and extra locks.
• Leave on outdoor security lights. A house in the dark could appeal to a burglar as it looks like nobody is in the property.
• If you go on holiday or away for the weekend, ask a trusted neighbour or friend to maintain anything that could be an advertisement for burglars, especially a full letterbox or left out wheelie bins.
