Summer  months bring about a spike in burglaries everywhere. The weather is warming up and people’s guards are going down. Burglars seem to be getting a bit creative during this season. Let’s take a look at this from a burglar’s perspective: Imagine, you, yourself are a thief. You’re at a creative block. You’re sick of picking locks and kicking down doors. It’s the same old thing every day. Peak burglary season is coming and you’re at a lull. You need some inspiration for the summer months. Then it hits you…… a drill! Drilling through the lock is the perfect fresh technique for you! It’s the foolproof groundbreaking (or should I say lock breaking) idea! Lock your doors because the “Drill Bandit” is on the loose. We imagine that is the exact thought process of our most recent burglar… This is a first for us. The burglar drilled through the lock completely. The drill destroyed the lock allowing the burglar to enter the home. Luckily, London Locksmith came to the rescue. We had the lock replaced and our client’s house secured within moments.
