Wiltshire Police: Going on holiday?



Going on holiday?

Don't be caught out!


Here are some precautions you can take to improve the security around your home:


  • Use a timer to set lights to mimic your usual activity when you are not at home

  • Consider installing a burglar alarm, and only use a company that is registered or certified with the NSI or the SSIAB

  • Cancel any newspaper or milk deliveries for the period you are away

  • Ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your house and they could even park their car on your driveway

  • Make sure all doors and windows are shut and locked

  • Avoid discussing holiday plans on all forms of social media. Burglars can use this information to their advantage


If you have any information about offenders or see something suspicious, please call Wiltshire Police on 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. In an emergency dial 999.
