Heading out this Halloween? Lock Up and Light Up.
Halloween is a busy night, with many people heading out to enjoy the celebrations. Before you leave home, take a few minutes to make sure your property is secure.
An Garda SĂochána recommends a few simple steps to help protect your home:
Light up: Leave lights on or use timer switches to make your home look occupied.
Lock up: Secure all doors, windows, side entrances, gates and sheds.
Set your alarm: Make it part of your routine every time you leave, even if it's only for a short while.
Keep valuables safe: Store keys away from doors and windows, and keep tools and valuables out of sight.
Think before you post: Avoid sharing your plans or letting people know your home is empty while you're out.
Look out for each other: If you're away for the evening, consider asking a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your property.
These small steps can make a real difference. You can find more advice on the Garda website: https://www.garda.ie/en/crime-prevention/crime-prevention/home-security.html
