Supt. Alejandro Cowo, O.C., C.I.B., Eastern Division
“When it comes to the burglary, we always advise the homeowners that it is a matter that they have to ensure that their houses are properly secured. Many of these incidents do occur because of people leaving a door open, a window open or just the lock and then after the person just comes in and open the door. We advice them before they leave their house to ensure that the house is properly secured or even if they are inside to ensure that the burglar bar or the regular door is closed.”
