The gendarmerie of Saint-Martin notes a resurgence of burglaries without break-in in residences: Stay vigilant and do not hesitate to report any suspicious fact have reflex 17!
Some tips can help you better protect your home:
Secure my home:
Protect and reinforce access points (entrance door, windows, bay window and other exits);
Conceal attractive goods (cash, jewelry, IT equipment, cell phones, etc.). Do not leave doors and windows open, even for a brief absence. Do not hide your keys under the doormat, in a flowerpot or any place outside;
Do not let strangers enter your home (direct sellers, etc.);
Avoid signs revealing his absence (accumulated mail in the letterbox, dates of absence on the telephone answering machine, Facebook message, etc.);
Do not leave tools or materials outside of your home that could facilitate the misdeeds of burglars (ladder, screwdriver, various tools, etc.);
Maintain the vegetation in your home so that your home remains visible from the street; equip the exterior surroundings with lighting that activates when motion is detected;
Equip an alarm to detect an intrusion as early as possible.
Monitor the surrounding environment:
Ask a trusted neighbor to pay particular attention to his home in case of absence and to collect mail;
As part of the “holiday peace” operation, report your absence to the reflex 17 gendarmerie. Report any suspicious presence:
Have reflex 17 to report vehicles and / or individuals who can spot. Give precise elements of identification (type, make, color and registration of vehicles, clothing of people);
In case of burglary, do not touch anything and promptly notify the gendarmerie.
The gendarmerie is intensifying its presence on the ground, but also relies heavily on the participation of each citizen.
