THE PSNI are advising homeowners across Derry to make sure their properties and and possessions are locked and secured to avoid easy pickings for thieves.
A spokesperson said: “Lots of crimes are crimes of opportunity.
“Believe it or not people still don’t lock doors, windows, garages and sheds!
“Unfortunately their are people in the community that take advantage of this and will let themselves in and help themselves to your belongings.
“Simply locking up your house, shed, garage, car and not leaving valuables on display can be enough to put the criminals off.
“Don’t make the criminals lives easy.
“And if you have any information about the people responsible for these crimes in our community get in touch with us on the 101 number..
