Burglars Love the Afternoon.

Most house burglaries happen between 2pm and 6pm., say the police.

Inspector Ian Saunders told our newspaper that the number of house
burglaries has gone up by more than 30% compared with last year. He also
said that most burglaries happen when people have gone out and left a door
or window open.

He said that night-time burglaries are unusual because families are usually at
home at that time. But he said that winter afternoons are the best time for
burglars because it is dark and they can’t be seen easily. Also many houses
are empty at tat time.

Inspector Saunders said that it is a good idea to leave lights on in living

rooms and bedrooms to keep burglars away. He also asked neighbours to
watch the other houses in the street when people are away.. They should call
the police if they see anything strange.
‘We will also tell you how to make your house safe’, said the Inspector.
‘This kind of help costs nothing.’
