RESIDENTS in Bridlington can take advantage of free timer switches provided by the local Community Partnership and Humberside Police.
The switches enable lights to switch on and create the appearance that someone is inside the property, helping to reduce crime.
The timer switches are available for residents free of charge at the Bridlington police station in Quay Road, and will be given out on a first-come first-served basis, one per household.
Humberside Police Inspector Grant Taylor said: “This partnership initiative has allowed us to provide residents of the Bridlington community with a free timer switch.
The use of the timer switch will help residents reduce the chance of experiencing a crime over this festive period.”
