*Community Insight: Opportunistic Crime – Don't Make It Easy for Criminals*

Many crimes are opportunistic. Criminals often look for easy targets such as unlocked gates, valuables left in sight, open garages, or distracted individuals.

*You can reduce your risk by:*
✅ Locking gates, doors, and vehicles at all times
✅ Keeping valuables out of sight
✅ Staying alert when arriving home or in public spaces
✅ Repairing security weaknesses promptly
✅ Reporting suspicious activity to CAP

Remember: criminals look for opportunities. The fewer opportunities available, the lower your risk.

If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and contact the *CAP Control Room immediately on 0861 227 227.*
