BURGLARIES: TIPS FOR YOUR RESIDENCE

• Don’t leave your garage, front or back door open or partially open – it serves as an invitation to burglars.

• Only open windows that have quality burglar bars, thereby preventing easy access.

• Windows left open should not be visible from the street.

• When purchasing valuable items, don’t throw the boxes in your refuse bin that show quality name brands - criminals are on the lookout for that. Cut boxes up, and seal in a black plastic bag.

• Know your neighbours. Suspicious movement can be noted and reported to the SAPS.

• Have proof of identity of all employees.
