Darker Nights at a Glance
Opportunist thieves target houses that look like no one is in. Keep your home off a burglar's radar and remember #AlarmLocksLights
Greater Manchester Police is urging residents to avoid the nightmare of being burgled remembering to leave a light on.
Research involving interviews with convicted burglars supports this simple tactic as an effective deterrent to thieves. It is also cheap and environmentally friendly as leaving a low-energy lightbulb on mid- afternoon to late evening when you are out can cost less than a few pence a day.
