Do you make sure your gate is closed at night and in the day?
Is there a bar on top of your sliding gate so that it cannot be lifted off the rails?
Are your doors locked?
Is your house numbered clearly?
Do you have an outside light on in your property?
Do you know your neighbours?
These are questions the Primrose CPF is asking the community.
The CPF has also warned residents to be alert and aware and to take precautions when they feel they are being followed.
“The CPF has identified a trend where vehicles are being followed home from malls or restaurants and then being hijacked,” said CPF chairman Wendy Morgan.
The CPF offered the following safety tips for residents to follow:
- Do not park your vehicle in the road.
- Do not leave your vehicle running when closing or opening your gate, take the keys out.
- Do not stand and talk to your visitors in the road.
- Do not park your vehicle in the driveway or on the pavement.
“Theft of motor vehicles also continues to be a problem,” said Morgan.
