Firstly if you live nearby and have CCTV or a doorbell camera please check it between the above times to see if you had any activations. 

Secondly as a precaution, please check that your door locks are secure and correctly fitted. We recommend anti-snap locks with a 3 Star rating, certified to either TS007 or SS312 standards. These locks are available from many locksmiths and security providers.
