Aggravated burglary—breaking into a home with the intent to use violence or threats—remains a serious risk for residential properties. Homeowners should ensure doors and windows are secure, install visible alarm systems or dummy boxes to deter intruders, and consider reinforced locks on entry points. If confronted during a break-in, prioritise personal safety over property: leave the home if possible and contact police immediately.
