Call 112 if you see a burglary in progress
Residents know best when something is wrong in their neighborhood. For example, a stranger peering into houses, or activities at a home when you know the residents are on vacation. Calling 112 can help the police prevent a burglary or catch a burglar in the act! The 112 number is intended for emergencies, not only life-threatening situations but also when you witness a crime or the preparation of a burglary or theft.
How to make it difficult for burglars
Burglars take advantage of opportunities. You can make it harder for them by:
- Approved locks and fittings on windows, (garage) doors, and any skylights.
- A special lock on burglary-prone sliding doors.
- Adequate outdoor lighting.
- Timer switches on all floors of your home. Let your indoor lighting turn on and off at different times.
