Nobody wants to come home and find their home has been broken into - especially around the festive season.
Thousands of families are devastated by home and break-ins each year, with some burglars specifically targeting houses at Christmas time. Some thieves go as far as to steal lovingly bought and wrapped presents from underneath Christmas trees.
There are a number of ways people can lower the risk of criminals trying to steal from their homes including locking all doors and windows, adding security camera's or a Ring Doorbell and keeping valuable items out of sight.
