Every houses need a burglar alarm and smoke alarms they don't cost the earth.A burglar alarm cost around £300 to £400 fitted by qualified installers.Security lights at front and back around £100 fitted by an qualified electricians.We live in 21st century people don't learn about crime preventions.
A policeman can't be around every streets in the borough.

This family has a right to go to bed like any other family in Blackburn or anywhere in UK without burglars breaking into their homes and property and sleep safely and soundly in their beds with smoke alarms,burglar alarms cctv and security lights.
Police are advising homeowners it's worth installing these security measures to prevent such crimes happening again.
I am a law abiding citizen and my sympathy are with the family who have suffered this terrible crime.
The burglar should be behind bars where he belongs.
