Poll: Do you use your house alarm every night?

Gardaí have claimed that the rate of burglaries has fallen in recent months due to a winter crackdown.

HOW REGULARLY do you use your house alarm, if at all?

Two gangs in south Dublin that carry out dozens of robberies a month are believed to have joined together in recent weeks, which gardaí believe has lead to increased thefts in the area.

But after various media reports on burglaries, Gardaí have released a statement today saying that rates are down by 23% across the country after a winter crackdown.

With that renewed focus on burglaries, we’re asking you: Do you use your house alarm?


Poll Results:

Yes, every night (7174)
I don't have one (2148)
No, never (2012)
Yes, sometimes (944)
