Station at winter time
As the security forces remind each year, the changeover to winter time is a sensitive period, in terms of burglaries. As night falls earlier, it is easier for thieves to identify whether a house is occupied or not, from the interior lighting.
It is recommended to secure your home by locking access, simulating a presence or using an alarm. In case of suspicious fact, do not hesitate to dial on the 17th.
