Security tips to deter home burglars by Sgt Sidney Lyle
Security precautions can stop house burglars says Sgt Sidney Lyle in a practical guide. He outlines a profile of the average burglar under 21 with a school background and propensity for property damage. He stresses doors and locks including steel or solid core doors and high quality deadbolts with options to prevent entry through windows. He urges homeowners to assess doors, locks, and windows and to install double cylinder deadbolts or non breakable glass substitutes to stop intruders from reaching interior locks. He concludes with a call to get involved in crime prevention.
