And many businesses are located on trading estates and in other locations that aren’t overlooked by neighbouring residents. Builders yards, for example, are packed full of attractive and increasingly expensive building materials that are easily and quickly resold on the black market. If criminals can gain entry it doesn’t take them long to fill their van and make a quick...

With the arrival of spring many of us are paying attention to our gardens. But what can you do if your garden is popular with your local cat population?  What are Anti Cat Spikes?
