“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.”
