Suffolk Police are reminding people to make improving their home security part of their new year's resolutions.

Recommendations are aimed at limiting the chances of becoming a victim of crime.

They include securing your home by keeping tools locked away and properties well lit, ensuring heating oil is locked up, improving online security and joining your local Neighbourhood Watch.

Lots of us might leave our tools in the back garden, we know these are sometimes used to gain entry into properties.

We're saying to people, get used to locking them - make sure your sheds are very secure and you have really good outdoor lighting.

– CHIEF INSPECTOR JO GARRARD, SUFFOLK POLICE
