Homeowners in Larne have been advised to take immediate steps and necessary precautions to ensure that they do not become victims of the latest string of burglaries in the area. It was reported that in just the last week seven homes in the area were broken into and expensive vehicles and items worth thousands of pounds were stolen.

Ever since those burglaries have happened, there have been attacks just like that and they are causing concern for homeowners and the local police. According to Noel Rogan, Larne PSNI Inspector, all the burglaries seem to be the work of the same team of burglars. Apparently, they break into homes, steal what they can and make off with the loot in vehicles which belong to the homeowners.

Police, however, have managed to recover some vehicles in a nearby area. Insp. Rogan said that the best way to deal with this kind of burglaries is by residents staying vigilant and informing the police about suspicious activity as soon as they see something.

Residents have also been told to keep the keys of their vehicles with them during the night. Security is vital at these times and protecting belongings is necessary. Installing security safes is a good way of protecting valuables. With a security safe, all important things like money and other valuable items, including keys can be safe from burglars ensuring that little or no damage is incurred.
