“The key thing is to make your home look occupied. Ask a trusted neighbour orfamily member to keep an eye on the property, park in the driveway if possible,and remove post or deliveries from the front door.
“Use timer switches on lights and avoid posting holiday updates on social media until you return home. Most importantly, ensure all doors and windows are securely locked before leaving,” she said.
