Burglaries from sheds, garages and outbuildings are increasing and police forces are encouraging owners to bolster security wherever they can. Sheds and Garages are Easy Targets Criminals know that sheds, garages and outbuildings are generally far more easily broken into than homes.

Police forces have warned that criminals will often initially break into a shed or garage where they know they can find tools and ladders that will enable them to break into the main house....
