Police Alert to Burglaries Due to Insecure Windows

Warwickshire Police warn that they have had several burglaries over recent days where where offenders have gained entry through unsecure windows.
Leaving windows open presents opportunities for criminals.
Advice from the Police is:
•Ensure all your windows and doors are locked when you go out and go to bed – don’t forget, burglars can squeeze through small windows.
•Don’t leave windows or doors open on the ground floor when you’re elsewhere in the house or in the garden – it only takes a few seconds for a burglar to get in and out.
•Keep valuable items, including car keys, away from open windows.
•Don’t leave your car keys on display in the house – put them in a drawer.
•Set your security alarm when you are out and when you go to bed.
