Beat the burglar

Hayley Goodwin, Homewatch Co-ordinator for Cheshire Police, has asked us to publish the following advice on how to beat the burglar:

• "Lock doors and secure windows at all times
  
• Check doors abd windows before going to bed
  
• Set any security alarms before going to bed and when you go out
  
• Make the house look occupied when you are out. Set time switches on lights and a radio.
  
• Keep an eye open for anyone acting suspiciously in your neighbourhood. If you are concerned about anything report it on the Cheshire Police Information Line 0845 458 0000.
  
• If you have any information about burglaries call the Information Line (above) or you can leave information anonymously on the Crimestoppers Line 0800 555 111."
