It’s that time again, time for getting together with friends and family to celebrate Christmas.
It is also a time to remember to secure your property over the festive season. Many houses are decorated with tinsel and Christmas trees that shadow valuable gifts meant for loved ones. This also may present itself as a opportunity for thieves who may use an unlocked door or window to steal property including Christmas gifts. This will lead to heart ache on Christmas morning for families.
Police urge residents to lock their residences and be vigilant at all times, especially over the holiday period. Simple precautionary measures can stop opportunistic thieves ruining what is meant to be a special time of year.
