Call 112 if you see a burglary in progress

Residents are often the best judges of when something is not right in their neighborhood. A stranger peeking into houses, for example. Or activities at a house where you know the residents are on vacation. If you call 112, the police may be able to prevent a burglary or catch a burglar in the act! Calling 112 is intended for emergencies. So not only for life-threatening situations but certainly 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 the opportunities they are given. You can make it extra difficult for them with:

• Approved locks and latches on windows, (garage) doors, and any skylights.
• A special lock on a burglary-sensitive sliding door.
• Sufficient outdoor lighting.
• Timer switches on all floors of your home. Let your indoor lighting go on and off at different times.
