Keep vigilant and report to police immediately any suspicious people or activity in your neighbourhood.

Deter potential criminals by ensuring outside lights work and by installing motion sensor lights.

Ensure gates are shut and locked at all times.

Trees and shrubs can create hiding spots for criminals. Keep your landscaping groomed and limit privacy fencing.

Consider installing surveillance cameras that monitor vulnerable areas of your property.

Avoid posting pictures of your plants on social media. Advertising the fact you have plants growing on your property may lead to theft.

If you have the ability to grow your plants in a secure area it would be wise to do so.
