The Sandton Police Station is hard at work to keep your homes safe. Within the suburb of Sandton there are many residents who often spend time on their patios but are they safe?
Captain Granville Meyer shared some insights on how to stay safe. “Is your patio doors a bit secluded? Are they as secure as they could be? Do you leave attractive items on view through them? Put it out of sight, locked up day and night,” he said.
Patio doors – key facts:
- Can your existing patio doors be lifted off their tracks and out of position? Keep them locked and the key in a safe place, rather than left in the lock
- Don’t leave attractive items on view through your patio doors – i.e. tablets, laptops or car keys
- Consider setting up a neighbourhood watch scheme on your street.
