Inspector Thiele said in the event of finding an intruder in your home, residents should not do anything that would jeopardise their safety."Get a description of them and call 131 444 and we will task a patrol immediately," he said.Inspector Thiele said the earlier the call is made to police, the greater the chance of catching the offender."The advantage we have here in Whyalla is that we have a very good intel system and the police patrols have very good knowledge of the persons of interest within the town," he said.

"So by giving out the description and phoning police immediately, that enables us to respond to the job."Offenders have also gained entry to homes through unlocked windows.Police ask residents to check the security of their windows and recommend good quality security screens which allow windows to be kept open for fresh air but keep intruders out.On other occasions when offenders have not been able to gain entry to the home, valuables have been stolen from backyards, unlocked sheds and cars.

BeadforLife does not provide handouts but opportunities, education and skills, Hibbard points out. She stresses that not only bead-making, but counting and basic bookkeeping are the focus of the program, which has more than 1,000 graduates -- 74 percent of whom go on to start their own businesses.
