Donegal homeowners urged to show vigilance by An Garda Siochana
Gardaí in Donegal have stressed the importance of house alarms and asked that suspicious activities be reported immediately
An Garda Siochana in Donegal has issued a warning for homeowners to show vigilance.
They stressed the importance of house alarms and asked that suspicious activities be reported immediately.
“Be vigilant when leaving your house vacant, even if it’s only going to be for a few minutes,” they posted. “That is all the time it would take for a burglar to break into your home.
“Before leaving the house, ensure that all doors and windows are secured and that the alarm is set - use your alarm even when at home. If you don’t have an alarm, consider getting one.
“Light up your home, use timer switches when you’re out. Store keys safely and away from windows and letterboxes. Do not store large amounts of cash in your home. Any jewellery of high monetary value could perhaps be kept in a safe. Always report any suspicious activity/vehicles in your area to Gardaí immediately.”
