What a burglar looks for when choosing their property

  • A home which appears to be empty
  • Easy access to the back of the building
  • Trees and high bushes in surrounding area which provide good cover
  • Homes with no visible signs of protection such as alarms or lighting.

 When they’ve chosen a property they will:

  • Look through the windows to see inside
  • Check if any neighbours are watching
