Security advice for the holiday season

The weeks leading up to the Christmas holidays and new year are some of the busiest of the year. Unfortunately for a dishonest few, the festive season is prime time for criminal opportunity and activity. Homes are left unoccupied, expensive presents are often left for the taking and, with a sense of wellbeing, your guard may well be down.

Being aware of the risks and taking a few simple precautions can prevent theft and protect yourself, home and belongings. The attached picture details the security tips you can follow.

These measures are all important and should be considered year-round; however, they are especially critical during the Christmas holiday period. Simple awareness and a little extra precaution can help reduce the risk of becoming a victim.
