Have you been affected by a spate of burglaries?
Dunedin Police are investigating a number of burglaries in the Roslyn, Maori Hill and Belleknowes area over the past few weeks. The burglars have targeted jewellery, medals, clothing and miscellaneous household items
For people who stay at home during the day, it is particularly important to be aware of suspicious or unknown people in and around your residence. Dial 111 immediately if you see someone breaking into your neighbour’s house or car.
Here are a few simple things you can do to make your home intruder-safe:
· Lock your car and your garage.
· Keep the doors locked, even when you are at home
· Keep your spare key in a safe place.
· Generally, the more expensive the lock, the more effective it will be
· Consider installing burglar alarms
· Sensor lights act as a deterrent.
