It comes at no surprise that the UK Metropolitan Police are stamping down hard on Garage Door owners. The reason why is that there has been a significant increase in the amount of burglaries and theft seen in many areas throughout the UK. Typically a garage door is much weaker than a security bolt door and this is highly appealing to a burglar or a thief.
The Police Department Public Information Unit said residents should keep garage doors closed at night to prevent would-be burglars and thieves from entering homeowners’ property. The urging came after police and other law enforcement officials entered into a pursuit last week involving a stolen vehicle from a Dagenham residence obtained when a garage was left open.
These types of security breaches are definitely not a rare item in the UK and really something which many of us Garage Doors owners should pay closer attention to in the future.
