SAPS silly season safety checklist: When going on holiday
Safety is more important than ever as the frenzy of the silly season takes grip. SAPS has some great tips to keep you safe in any situation.
- Inform the nearest police station if you are going to leave for more than a week for a patrol to be conducted around your area during your absence.
- Also inform a reliable neighbour of your absence . The neighbour may immediately contact you if there is suspicious movement in your house.
- Avoid posting on social media if you have gone on holidays. Criminals are alerted on social media of your absence and movements, therefore the chances of breaking into your houses increase.
- Before you leave for the holiday, ensure the doors and windows are locked.
