Before you leave your house, look around, move any valuables out of sight, close windows and lock your doors.

Are you planning a holiday, a short trip or a long weekend? Please factor in some home security plans before you head away and have a safe and enjoyable trip:

• Is there someone collecting your mail?
• Do you have a friend or neighbour who can periodically check on your home?
• Is there a vehicle parked outside the residence?
• Do you have sensor lights?
• Are your curtains closed?
• Did you leave a light on inside?

Don’t let your valuables become the next target.
