Tony Alderman, who is based in Taunton, made the comment at the launch of Avon and Somerset Constabulary's new guide for local residents who want to protect their belongings in the summer months.

He claimed "simple but effective" measures can make a major difference to the security of a home.

"Clever planting, padlocks on gates and sheds and motion sensor lights are inexpensive and effective," he explained.
