Help avoid burglaries
by NZ Police of New Zealand Police
It's the holiday season so, you need to start thinking about how to make your home or business premises burglar-proof. Counties Manukau Police say a few simple crime prevention steps can help stop you becoming a crime victim and burglary statistic. By taking a few minutes to 'think like a thief' you can identify the tell-tale signs of security weaknesses in your home or place of business.
The key safety messages that Counties-Manukau Police want to get across are:
Homeowners:
• Lock your doors and windows.
• Record the serial numbers of expensive electronic items and photograph these and other valuables
• Keep valuables out of sight i.e. jewellery, cameras, electronic games.
• Install an alarm system.
• Get sensor lights fitted.
• Keep garden sheds and garages locked when not in use - and make sure those ladders are tucked away.
• Keep hedges or plants around doors and windows well trimmed - don't give the burglar a place to hide.
• Stop your mail and paper if you are going away or arrange for someone to collect it.
• Keep the house secure when you are out in the garden or yard.
• Use a chain on the door - don't open the door to strangers, unless the chain is attached.
• Note down registrations of any suspicious vehicles - often burglars will scope out a place beforehand.
• Join or form a Neighbourhood Support Group. Your community constable will have some details.
Commercial premises
• Have a monitored alarm system in place.
• Install CCTV camera or surveillance system.
• Report any incidents or break-ins no matter how minor.
• Record serial numbers of electronic items and other expensive goods
• Property mark your equipment.
• If you are closing down for the Christmas period or an extended time frame, have someone check the premises regularly for break-ins. The offender may be tempted to come back more than once if they know no-one is checking!

Police also want to assist you in establishing your own Neighbourhood Support Group.
