A PSNI officer in Newry spoke to Newry Times and said, “A large number of the burglaries we deal with are opportunist where thieves have made the most of a window or door left opened or a shed or property left insecure.
“While we conduct patrols, respond to reports of suspicious activity and deliver crime prevention, everyone can play their part in taking proper precautions with their home and property. We would advise all householders to review their security. If your doors aren’t secure, neither is your house.
“Make sure your doors are strong enough for the job, and fit mortise deadlocks, door chains and viewers and make use of them, when you receive an unexpected knock at the door.
“Keep your doors and windows locked whether you are at home or not and establish a bedtime routine which involves checking them just before you retire for the night.
“Prevention is key to addressing issues such as burglary. Your local Crime Prevention Officer will be only too happy to call out to your home or have a chat on the phone about how you can take steps to better protect yourself and your property. They can be contacted on 0845 600 8000.
