BURGLARY BY LOCK SNAPPING:Recently there has been a spate of burglaries or attempted burglaries in the local area by means of LOCK SNAPPING. This is when the protruding oval cylinder on a door lock is snapped off with a tool, which allows manipulation of the interior of the lock and thus allows the burglar(s) to enter the premises. You can have your lock cylinders changed to anti-snap locks to prevent this from happening by contacting a reputable local locksmith.
