Take precautions against opportunistic burglars

Christchurch Police are reminding the community to take precautions against burglars.

Burglars are largely opportunistic and often look for easy targets, says Christchurch Metro Area Prevention Manager Inspector Leairne Dow.

“It’s important to close and lock windows and doors to deter burglars looking for easy access. Make sure you don’t leave anything out that the burglar can climb on to access a window. Also, consider shifting valuable items away from windows where they can be easily seen by passers-by,” she says.
