It was also stressed that gifts should be stored out of plain sight within the home.

The spokesperson added: “These should be locked in cupboards if possible. “Presents look brilliant under the tree but again should be kept out of view.”

It was stressed too that the base of a tree should always be concealed to deter theft.
