Protecting your garden
- Stopping a burglar from getting into your garden reduces the risk of them burgling your home
- Grow hedges of hawthorn or holly or other prickly bushes close to walls and fences to deter criminals from entering your garden
- Make sure any gates to your garden or to the rear of your home are locked when they are not being used
- If you have a solid fence or wall fix a trellis to the top. This will make it more difficult for a burglar to climb over. A trellis will not obstruct visibility and make the burglar feel exposed
- Never leave bicycles, lawnmowers and other equipment lying around unattended or unsecured in your garden
