In nearly 20% of residential burglaries, entry was through unlocked doors or windows, according to Victoria Police.
Follow these simple tips to protect your home!
- Lock all doors and windows
- Lock your mailbox to prevent theft of personal documents and arrange a friend to collect your mail when you're on holiday.
- Keep trees and shrubs trimmed so your house is visible from the street and burglars can't use them as hiding places.
- Keep your tools and ladders locked away so they can't be stolen or used to gain entry into your home
- Keep sheds and garages locked.
