Police (North Bay)If your March Break includes travel plans, North Bay Police have some tips for you to keep your home safe while you’re away.

Corporate Communications Coordinator Marie Lugli says before leaving ensure all windows, doors and the garage are locked, leave a radio and a few lights on to give the illusion that someone is there.

She also says discontinue mail or newspaper deliveries or have someone pick them up and leave a key with someone you trust.

Another tip is to arrange to have someone shovel any snow that may fall while you’re away.
