Going on
holiday
|
Crime and
Crime Prevention
If going away on holiday or leaving the house
unoccupied for more than a day then we were advised
to make the house look as inhabited as possible.
Never leave your curtains half-drawn, apparently a
sure give away that the house is empty. If you
leave a key with a neighbour or friend, essential
if you have a burglar alarm, then ring Hammerton
Road Police Station, tel: 2964814, and tell them
when you are away and the name and address of the
key holder. The police will try to keep an eye on
the house during your absence. If the key holder is
one you always leave a key with, then the police
will put this on their list.
