With the nights drawing in and Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to think about how protected you are from crime over the coming winter months. An award-winning study which looks at 20 years of crime data shows that homes which have taken some sort of security measure is 3 times more protected than those without. To top that, properties with multiple security devices are in fact up to 52 times more protected. So, with reports of incidents in the area, don’t wait to do something until it’s too late.
Shockingly, crime is still on the rise with robbery and bike crime leading the way. In the last 12 months robberies have increased by 20.5% and the most popular day to target people being Christmas Day itself.
There are many ways you can act to protect your property when you’re not in, such as leaving lights on and locking doors. However, due to the nature of the people who attempt to break in, this isn’t going to be enough to put them off or worse, stop them. If you want to be one step ahead then secure your property with a product such as, CCTV or an intruder alarm. This should deter them.
It will come as no surprise to you that homes are not the only ones that are targeted. So, if you plan to leave your business empty for the break, make sure you’ve got a means of security to offer you some form of protection from the potential threats.
