Looking to up your home security game? The Richmond Police Department (RPD) recently posted home burglary prevention tips on social media to help community members better protect their residences from being targeted.
“During the pandemic home burglary has declined because more people are home, but [it] still occurs,” stated the RPD on its Facebook page. “If you have an alarm, you can turn it on while you and the family are home at night.”
So what are burglars looking for? The RPD says thieves are keeping an eye out for “empty homes that are unsecured with easy access, limited security measures and no alarms.”
