The festive season is a time for joy – but it’s also a prime time for burglars. Don’t let crime steal your Christmas! Follow these essential tips to protect your home: ✅ Lock Up Tight Always lock doors and windows, even when you’re at home. ✅ Leave a Light On Use timer switches for lights to make your home look occupied. ✅ Hide Gifts & Valuables Keep presents out of sight from windows and don’t leave packaging outside. ✅ Secure Your Keys Never leave keys near doors or windows – burglars can “fish” them through letterboxes. ✅ Check Alarms & CCTV Make sure your security systems are working and visible. ✅ Don’t Overshare Online Avoid posting holiday plans or expensive gifts on social media. ✅ Neighbour Power Ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your property if you’re away. 🎅 Enjoy the festivities – stay alert, stay secure, and keep crime out of Christmas! 📞 Report suspicious activity: Call 101 or visit www.staffordshire.police.uk 📢 Anonymous tip: Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 |
