A burglary-busting social enterprise is urging the people of Leeds to be proactive in preventing their homes and businesses from being burgled.

Leeds has seen rocketing burglary rates this year after a significant reduction in recent years.

And now CASAC (Community Action and Support Against Crime) says that with their help and intervention all homes can be made almost totally secure.

Neil Goldup, CASAC’s Chief Executive, said: “We offer a free service for people to have their homes inspected by one of our engineers. We will then recommend what needs to be done and if the person wants us to carry out the necessary work there and then we can usually do it.

“Being burgled is a horrible experience and we have found that when we have installed our security devices the chances of being burgled again are almost zero.

“It’s this fact which deters burglars from trying to break into a property once they have seen we have made it more secure.”

CASAC is one of Britain’s leading social enterprises with a 10-year track record of successfully beating burglars. It is part-funded with money from the Home Office’s Safer Homes Fund.

They are so successful that West Yorkshire Police's Crime Reduction Officers now refer people directly to them.

Mr Goldup added: “We already work closely with the police and we are, as a social enterprise, dedicated to helping them drive down the number of burglaries which blight so many peoples’ lives.”
