GARDAÍ have warned that burglaries increase by a quarter as the evenings get darker, urging homeowners to be extra careful as the stretch in the evening draws in.
Gardaí advise leaving lights and a TV on when not at home, to lock doors and windows, and set an intruder alarm.
Motion activated lights are also a big deterrent.
“Don’t entertain any cold callers that are calling to your home. There are many bogus tradesmen out there. If you do need to get some work done on your home, please research the market and only deal with reputable tradesmen”, Henry Street Garda John Finnerty said.
