Don't Forget To Put Your Clocks Forward This Weekend
The PSNI are urging the public to "change your clocks and check your locks".
Clocks are to go forward on Sunday, 26 March, which will mark the start of British Summer Time.
With the start of the brighter evenings the police are also encouraging people to check their properties are also secure.
Superintendent Simon Walls said: "Make sure your home is secure. Lock doors and windows. Never leave a garage or garden shed unlocked. Keep your valuables stored away safely, and never leave them where they can be seen through windows.
"I would encourage everyone to take some practical steps to protect your home and belongings.
• Lock your doors and windows
• Ensure gardening tools are locked away after use
• Don't leave cash or valuable items on display
• Never leave keys in the locks, on table tops or hooks in view of external windows
• Report suspicious persons or vehicles to police
• Consider fitting an alarm or other security devices
"A proportion of all burglaries occur at unsecured premises through unlocked doors or windows. If your doors aren't secure, neither is your house."
