The following is what the police
counsel in the event that robbers manage to enter on to your premises or
inside your house. Read the tips and help save a life.
1.
Robbers typically launch their attacks from the backdoor (normally
kitchen doors) because they are usually not fortified. Get good doors
for your kitchen. Use crossbars at the back or "burglarproof" behind the
doors inside the house. If you have keys to the burglarproof, never
leave them inside the lock. Where possible, use a padlock in addition to
the keys. The purpose is to make it as difficult as possible for the
robbers to enter into the house and to buy you time to call somebody for
help.
2. When you hear someone breaking your doors, unless you
are absolutely sure your actions will prevent entry into the house,
don't try to be a hero by pushing back behind the doors (they may shoot
at you through the doors), or putting heavy items like freezers or
furniture behind it (they get more angry and when they are able to
finally enter they are more likely to be violent).
3. If you
sleep without clothes or with minimal clothing, dress up as soon as you
hear them. For the women especially, don't stay in your nighties or
wrappers, wear trousers and an ugly top.
4. If you call someone on the phone for help, keep the phone far from you as you don't want it to be known that you've done so.
5. Look for your main power switch and plunge the building into darkness (it disorients them and may cause them to run away).
6.
If you have a gun, registered or not, use it but only if you're sure
you will do damage. This isn't the time for warning shots! Killing an
intruder on your premises in defense of yourself and property is a
legitimate legal defense. Same goes for the use of any other weapon e.g.
knives.
7. When the robbers manage to enter give them whatever
they want. Don't hide anything. Don't try to be a hero or to negotiate
with them.
8. Don't look at them directly (or don't let them see
you doing so). If you know any of them don't show any signs of
recognition and don't mention the person's name. However memories
whatever features you can to help with identification and investigation.
9. When they finally leave your house do not chase after them (yeah some people do that smh).
10. Be your neighbor's keeper and if you hear any break-ins at their house, call the police for assistance.
