Kent Police has issued a warning against leaving Christmas boxes outside homes, as this could potentially attract burglars. The advice comes as part of the ‘Kent Against Burglary’ campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the increased risk of burglaries during the autumn and winter seasons.

With the onset of dark nights and homes filled with valuable Christmas gifts, burglars are more likely to target properties. Opportunistic burglars may exploit open windows, unlocked doors, or visible valuables, particularly during weekdays in daylight hours when households may be vacant.
