Police are also urging people not to leave presents on display in their cars as this can be a gift to a criminal who can break into the vehicles and remove property in seconds. Chief Inspector Channer added: “Burglary remains low across Dacorum and we’re working hard to keep it that way through proactive patrols, however this time of year burglaries do increase. Presents such as iPads, mobile phones and games consoles are a draw for burglars, who will enter a property if they think no one is in. Our advice is simple, leave a light on inside the property, using a timer switch so it comes on when it gets dark. “And after the Christmas presents have been given out, please don’t leave empty packaging outside your property as it is a signal to a burglar as to what is inside.” You can find more useful crime prevention tips on the Herts Police website – www.herts.police.uk
