These types of security breaches can result in accidental or unlawful destruction, theft or harassment of staff. It is therefore vital we do all we can to prevent them from happening.

Not only will they alert the authorities quickly in the event of a break-in, the sight of them alone can deter criminals from targeting a premises.
