Here are some Christmas crime prevention tips which should help deter thieves and burglars.

Most break-ins are opportunistic burglaries and Christmas is the time when many thieves are looking out for the insecure home.

You can help prevent a thief targeting your home by carrying out a few simple preventative measures:

  • Lock all outside doors and check that windows are closed when you go out.

  • Lock garage windows and doors especially if the garage has an internal door leading to the main house.

  • Lock your garden tools away and always keep your house keys in a safe place. Burglars are always happy to look under a mat, pull the string and key through the letter box, and move the large stone near the front/back door.

  • Put a light on if you are out for the evening, put the radio or TV on and leave a small gap in the curtains so that a light can be seen.
The above is good advice from Help the Aged in their booklet "Personal safety at home and in the street". If you would like a copy of this guide then telephone 020 72781114 or visit their website at: http://www.helptheaged.org.uk

Many older people take advantage of the free security services that are offered by local crime prevention teams and Able Community Care, a provider of long term, home care services for older people is always happy to arrange a visit from a Crime Prevention Officer for its clients.

Similarly we arrange visits from Safety Officers of local Fire Brigades to ensure that both our clients and their carers are in as safe a home as is possible.

If you would like further information about the live-in care services that Able Community Care provides throughout the UK please email to ablemg@aol.com, telephone 01603 764567 or click here and submit a brochure request online.
