Winter Burglary Prevention:  

by the Crime Prevention Officer, Kilkenny and Carlow, As we approach the time of year when the clocks are set to go back, we are once again appealing to people to secure their homes and premises and to Lock Up and Light Up during the winter months. Traditionally Burglaries increase by 20% over the winter months of October to March.

Some simple methods can make your home and premises less vulnerable to Criminal Attack.

Lighting around the house on a sensor or photocell:

Lighting inside on timers:

Natural Surveillance- trim shrubs down to 1m and trees up to 2 m.: 

Use Bogus Caller Cards:

Close Curtains during hours of Darkness.

What Attracts the Burglar: 

  1. Signs of being unoccupied:
  2. Open Windows:
  3. Hidden keys:
  4. A build up of Post /Milk, etc.
  5. No alarms: 
  6. High vegetation:
  7. Ladders or tools in easy reach:
  8. Easy access to the rear of your house:
  9. Poor lighting or house lights on at the wrong time.
  10. See www.garda.ie for Home Security Tips and Advices.
