There are several strategies you can implement to protect against burglary:

Secure doors and windows – Ensure all entry points to your home are sturdy and secure. Consider installing extra measures such as deadbolts or window locks.

Install a security system – A home security system with some of the following features can help deter burglars from your property: alarms, camera and motion sensors.

Outdoor lighting – Installing motion activated lights near the entrances to your home can help deter burglars and alert you to any suspicious activity.

Secure valuables – ensure you keep your valuables out of sight from windows and doors and consider using a safe for important documents or expensive items.

Be mindful of social media – Avoid posting when you are away from your home or on holiday as this can inform burglars your house in unoccupied.

By implementing some or all of these tactics, you can help to reduce the risk of a burglary and secure your home.
