Former burglars say barking dogs and CCTV are best deterrent.

They also named loud barking dogs, strong heavy doors, a TV being switched on and locked UPVC windows as the next most likely to put them off breaking into a home.

Do barking dogs and CCTV deter burglars?

  • Burglars are most likely to be put off breaking into homes by CCTV cameras and barking dogs, according to a panel of former criminals. Nearly half of the 12 former burglars consulted by Co-op Insurance said most thieves were opportunists wandering the streets who would avoid difficult break-ins that were likely to attract attention.
