As the festive season gets underway the Island's Police Force are urging the public to make sure they follow simple guidelines to avoid becoming the victims of crime over Christmas.

In a promotional poster simple tips like locking windows and doors when you go out and overnight will help to deter criminals.

Motorists are also advised to always lock their vehicle and keep valuables out of sight of opportunist thieves.

It's hoped that by taking these preventative steps the Island can enjoy a crime free Christmas.
