Thames Valley Police have issued a warning after seeing a rise in burglaries across the city.
Officers have today (7/10) taken to social media to state that there has been a rise in burglaries across Milton Keynes.
According to Thames Valley Police, offenders have been smashing through back doors to gain entry to properties.
The force that covers Milton Keynes has now offered the further advice to keep homes safe:
- Consider an accredited burglar alarm system with audible alarm boxes mounted high at the front and rear of your home.
- Lighting is a good deterrent and is recommended at doors as it makes it safer for you when coming and going after dark.
- CCTV can be a valuable tool. For advice and approved suppliers of CCTV visit the SSAIB | Certification for Security Service Providers & NSI - https://orlo.uk/SNYn0
Police also ask residents to report any suspicious activity to them via their online portal or by calling 101. In an emergency, call 999.
