Burglary prevention
Prevent your home from being broken into!
The number of home burglaries in Oegstgeest has risen sharply in the past year. The particular incidence of break-ins in your neighbourhood, Haaswijk, was relatively high. If you haven’t yet taken preventive measures, then now is the time!
Reduce the risk of a home burglary with approved locks
Locks approved by the Politie Keurmerk Veilig Wonen (PKVW, a police-backed quality mark for home safety) make it much harder for burglars to enter your home. Visit www.politiekeurmerk.nl for a list of companies with the PKVW certificate in this region. Having a PKVW-certified lock is important, but installing the lock correctly is just as important. That’s why you should always have the lock installed by a PKVW-certified locksmith!
What else can you do?
If you’re going on holiday, tell your neighbours!
Going on holiday or just going away for a few days? Tell your trusted neighbours about your holiday plans. They can keep an eye on your home by regularly stopping in, picking up the post from the doormat and turning a light on in the evening. In short, make sure it looks like someone is home while you are away.
