Security supplier Yale has launched the Crime Watcher app which shows the user how many burglaries have taken place within a mile of their home in the last month.
The app was launched last week as part of Yale's We Love Locks campaign, which aims to raise consumer awareness about the vulnerability of their homes and possessions during high-risk periods, such as summer holidays and darker winter nights. The app is powered by the Police API system, which means the information is both up to date and accurate, according to Yale.

It is available for free download for both iPhone and Android users.
