Christmas of Crime

Crime during the festive season increases significantly. We put together a number of tips related to trending crimes, to help you get through a safe and secure festive season.

BE VIGILANT: 

  • During the months running up to the festive season criminals are actively on the lookout for soft targets. Be aware of suspicious persons hanging around your neighbourhood, at the shopping centre and parking areas. Keep an eye open for cars following you home.

AVOID: 

  • Remote jamming by making double sure that your vehicle doors are securely locked before you leave it unattended. 
  • Leaving your vehicle unattended after it was loaded with all your shopping goods. 
  • Leaving personal items visible to criminals inside your vehicle. 

TEST:

  • Your burglar alarm once a month.
  • The reaction time of your alarm company.
  • The response time of their armed response unit.

ENSURE THAT:

  • Burglar bars are securely fitted to all opening windows.
  • Security gates are securely fitted to all doors allowing entry into your residence, garage and outbuildings. 
  • All sliding doors allowing entry into your residence are secured with pin locks. 
  • You are sober when driving a vehicle and be aware of other road users who may be intoxicated.
  • You supply your alarm company with a list of names and cell phone numbers of family members who can be contacted following a burglary whilst you’re away. 
  • You lock your jewellery in a safe when you are not wearing them. 

Make sure that you are totally covered for any event this holiday season.
