Advisory

Alert from the Albany Police Department: Daytime is a prime time for burglars so be on alert.

Burglary Crime Prevention Tips to keep in mind

• Trim shrubs around doors and windows so burglars don't have a sheltered place to work.

• Lock all doors and windows, even when leaving for a short time.

• Install deadbolt door locks on exterior doors and any interior door between the garage and house.

Install locking devices on all windows.

Don't post photos on social media sites updating people about your vacation.

• Install solid-core or metal-exterior doors.

Install peepholes on doors.

Never let strangers enter your home.

Store ladders in the garage or padlock them to fixed objects so burglars can't use them to reach upper floor windows

•Remember to report all suspicious activity to the Albany Police Department
