Gardaí in Kildare have launched a Lock Up, Light Up anti-burglary campaign for this winter.

It's part of a national message reminding householders to take a few simple steps to protect their homes.

On social media, Kildare Gardaí said : "Burglars often take advantage of darkness and unsecured properties. Don't make it easy for them".

It says simple steps can make a difference, such as:

Lock Up: Secure all doors, windows, side entrances, garages and sheds.

Light Up: Use timer switches, sensor lighting or smart lights to make your home look occupied.

Set Your Alarm: Use your house alarm, even when you are only going out for a short time.

Protect Your Keys: Keep car and house keys away from windows and letterboxes to prevent fishing.

Secure Valuables: Keep cash and jewellery out of sight and avoid leaving valuables on display.

Stay Alert: Keep an eye on your neighbourhood and report suspicious activity to Gardaí.
 
Gardaí concluded by urging Kildare homeowners to be cautious and always secure their home before leaving.
