Light it up!
Lights with sensors in the garden and at the front of your
property will help to deter a burglar as they are more confident when working
in the dark.
As the nights draw darker, during the winter months it is
really worth considering installing motion detector lights externally to your
home.
Considering that the majority of burglaries take place during
the night, (56% of recorded burglaries happen at night according to Tesco Compare), it is definitely a good idea to have
security lights fitted to your property as these can help to deter a burglar
from breaking into your home, as they are less likely to feel confident
breaking into a property that is well-lit. The majority of Police Forces will
advise this as an additional security measure, “consider fitting outside
security lighting or a visible alarm to help deter burglars” (ThamesValley Police). ThamesValley Police also advise “using pea shingle or gravel on a driveway
and spiky plants in garden beds”.
