Following last week’s publication of the Central Statistics Office’s third Quarterly Household Survey, householders are being urged to remain on their guard in the run up to the Christmas period. The advice comes from PhoneWatch, Ireland’s leading provider of monitored home safety systems.
In the 12 month period up to the end of September 2015, 28,407 burglary and related offences were recorded nationwide (CSO 2015). Of these burglaries 408 were recorded in the Westmeath Garda Division, an decrease of 208 on the previous 12 month period (CSO 2015).
