SOUTH Holland’s police officers aren’t asking homeowners to create an impenetrable fortress but there are a few simple things you can do to stop yourself from being easy pickings:
r Keep windows and front doors locked, even if you’re only in the garden
r Invest in a good lock for your garden shed
r Close and lock your garage door
r Block access to the back of your house with a fence or a gate which can be locked
r Consider investing in a security light or burglar alarm
