Check fences, gates, shrubbery and hedges. Look for possible hiding areas and easy ways of gaining entry. Windows: a third of all burglaries are carried out by entering a window at the back of the house. Window locks and laminat- ed glass to vulnerable windows can help to prevent burglaries. Thieves do not want to break the glass and risk attracting attention. Doors: ensure your door frames are strong and in good condi- tion and you have strong locks, do not forget door viewers and chains for personal security. Vehicles: remove the ignition key every time you leave the vehicle, lock all doors, close all windows and shut the sunroof every time you leave the vehicle unattended. If you do not have a garage, always try to park in a well lit open location over looked by houses. Scams During the present lockdown due to Coronavirus, there have been scams to steal money or goods from you. Scammers visit your doorstep asking for goods for the food bank or claiming to be from the Council asking for money. There are many trustworthy people in our community and there are genuine volunteers, but if you receive a telephone call, letter, or visit to your home remember to take time be- fore responding, as there is always a clue which leads you to recognise a scam.
