Summer Crime Warning From Tesco Finance Home Insurance
Published: 02/10/08
With Summer now not so far away Tesco Finance is warning homeowners to ensure their garden areas are secured so burglars and opportunists cannot gain easy access.
A representative from neighbourhood watch has explained that Summer is a prolific time for break ins, with around half of them beginning at the rear of a property. Simple things such as ensuring fencing is secure following the winter weather can be a great help say Tesco Finance. They also suggest planting spiky plants like holly or roses underneath windows to make it more difficult for anyone to gain access there.
Other aspects of garden security Tesco Finance suggest include security lights and placing loose trellis work to fences and walls since they make them much more difficult to climb.
