And if you are wondering how to keep your home safe this Easter – police also had tips to share today:..

Supt. Suzette Anderson - Commader Officer Precint 3

"Due to the fact that the easter holidays is already approaching we have been embarking on providing safety tips to residence, to business places in as for them how to secure their places of business, their homes whenever they are away. Because we do know that the easter holiday normally see a large percentage of people leaving the city to go to the cayes, the islands to different locations where there is sea, river. They leave their premises behind unattended and we as a police department it is our responsibility to patrol in an effort to prevent burglaries from occurring within the respective homes that will be left unattended. Safety must first come the person himself or herself. Which means in order for you to have that assurance that you practice safety of your own homes that you establish communication with your neighbours that is the first step to it. That you communicate so they know that your place would be left unattended, so that they can keep an eye for you. At the same time, try to leave your phone, keep the volume down so that the burglars when hearing the phone ringing you prevent from hearing your phones ringing giving them the idea no one is at home. You try to leave on lights in your home so as to have them believe that someone is at home. You try to leave behind a radio on or a stereo or tv on so that would prevent any burglar from getting that attention towards your home."
