People should make sure that the front and back doors are secured at all time and if they are going out, to put on the burglar alarm.’
‘If people are going to be out of the house when it’s dark, they should leave a light on and perhaps leave a radio or television on as a deterrent.’

‘People should also be careful as to where they keep car keys,’ he said.
