Police are warning the public to ensure their homes are secure following a recent series of reported burglaries across the Island.

A Police spokesman said: “Residents are reminded to secure their homes by ensuring all windows and doors are locked before leaving their property unattended. Any air conditioning units should be secured and it is recommended that all valuables are kept in a safe or safety deposit box.

“In addition, take photos of all valuables and record all serial numbers of electronic items. In the event they are stolen and later recovered, such personal property can be more easily identified.

“Suspicious individuals or activity seen in any neighbourhood should be reported immediately to the nearest police station or the main police telephone number 295-0011.

“Remember, thieves are opportunist and travel down the path of least resistance — take away the opportunity and minimise your risk.”
