Holiday precautions

Wellington County OPP would like to remind residents how to avoid becoming a victim of a break and enter.

If holiday plans include travel elsewhere, people will want to take steps to protect their home and belongings while they are away.

Police offer the following tips to avoid theft:

- have a friend or neighbour visit your home often to check on things;

- invest in a timer for your lights;

- cancel Newspaper delivery and arrange for mail to be brought inside every day; and

- it is not wise to advertise travel plans on social media websites.
