Police from the Gateway Patrol Group are reminding residents to secure their homes even when at home as thieves have targeted a number of homes in the Brisbane North, most recently in the suburbs of Chermside and Wavell Heights.
To determine how secure your home is, think like a burglar and consider the following:

Do not leave keys hanging visibly on key hooks and store your keys out of sight and in a safe place;
Ensure all doors and windows are locked prior to
