Increase in theft & burglary in Doncaster

“As the cost of living becomes more difficult, we have seen an increase in theft and burglary in Doncaster! You can argue that it is to be expected but that does not mean you do not need to be extra vigilent”.

Burglaries & break-ins

I myself have had prowlers looking to clone the car key but fortunately this was not possible for that particular car. The remote “goes to sleep” after inactivity, great idea. But they then decided to break into the house, but with high security locks and a big black noisy labrador in the house they left empty handed. The house was in darkness and so they knocked on the window to see if it was occupied, but Henry was alert and earned his keep.

Upgrade your home security

The thieves are on next doors camera and what it shows is how relaxed they are about the attempt, no rush to be in and out. This has now prompted myself to upgrade the cameras and order a new gate for the front of the house.

A professional Doncaster locksmith

As a professional Doncaster locksmith I get to see how easy it is for thieves to break in to peoples property and the distress it leaves. I obviously will promote the fitting of high security locks because they should be at the top of what you fit first to protect your home. But i also believe you have to show that you are serious about protecting your home. Cameras, Ring doorbells, dogs, lights, gates, fences, hedges, gravel drives and more… the list goes on.
