Tips to prevent break-and-enters: SPS
The Sarnia Police Service is offering tips to the community to prevent break-and-enters on your property. In two recent incidents, the police said suspects were knocking on doors and blocking entrances to a home with objects, testing if anyone was home. The separate occasions took place between Modeland Road and Blackwell Road in the Lakeshore Road area. The SPS is asking you to report any suspicious behaviour that could lead to a break-and-enter or if people are lurking around homes in your neighbourhood. Here are some tips, courtesy of the SPS: Make your home look occupied Use timers for lights, like smart bulbs or outlet timers, to make it look like your regular activity. Keep a car in the driveway. If you're not home for an extended period, ask a neighbour if they can do so. Leave a TV or radio on. Secure all entry points Reinforce doors. Use deadbolts and install door reinforcement plates. Secure windows. Lock them all and consider using window sensors or security film. Install smart locks that can alert you if the door is unlocked. Install a home security system Use cameras with remote viewing, especially at doors, windows, and blind spots. Display signs and/or stickers. Even if they are fake, they can deter suspects. Enable motion detectors and alerts so you are notified of unusual activity. Avoid advertising when you aren't home Don't post your travel plans on social media. Wait until you're home to post photos and details. Hold your mail and packages or have a neighbour pick them up for you. Avoid leaving notes for delivery people, as it shows nobody is home. Get to know your neighbours Join or start a neighbourhood watch. Exchange phone numbers so you can alert each other of suspicious activity. Light up your property Use motion activated lights around entry points and dark areas. Have a well-lit exterior to deter suspects. Lock down the backyard
