Neighbourhood Police in South Belfast have launched a new anti-burglary initiative to help residents make their homes more secure and protect their property.
The ‘Burglar? Don’t Bother’ campaign involves officers visiting homes across South Belfast, encouraging residents to lock up, store valuables securely and carry out traceable property marking using SelectaDNA.
Police will also work with local pawnbroking businesses to raise awareness of attempts to sell on stolen property, encouraging them to look for property that is marked and to report any suspicious activity. If a marked stolen item is ever presented to a pawnbroker, it can be quickly and easily traced back to its owner by police.
Sergeant Cherith Adair explained: “Neighbourhood Police will be visiting homes over the next few weeks to share security advice with our residents, encourage them to property mark valuables and ask them to display our ‘Burglar? Don’t Bother’ stickers. The stickers will be displayed to show homes are security aware and have taken progressive steps to protect their property. Our message is clear to any opportunistic criminals – Burglar? Don’t bother!”
