Crimsafe helps Great Grandma to live safer in her home Joanna ‘Jopie’ De Loryn, a 91-year-old widow, bravely chased off an intruder last week who snuck into her home while she was taking her rubbish out. The Great Grandmother from Holland Park in Brisbane had lived peacefully in her home since 1960. Jopie’s story recently made national headlines and caused outrage, after being featured on 9 News and A Current Affair. Everyone deserves to feel safe and secure in their own home, which is why Crimsafe’s CEO, Jim Sturgess, visited Jopie at her home on Wednesday 19 February to check in on her well-being and offered to install Crimsafe security screens on her doors and windows. “We hope replacing your diamond grille windows and doors with Crimsafe security screens will provide you and your family peace of mind in knowing that you’re being protected by Australia’s strongest security screen so you can enjoy your home.” The visit was a surprise for Jopie, whose son, Robert, had organised the visit from Crimsafe. “Thank you so much, this is great!” Jopie said, thanking Crimsafe. Robert thanked Crimsafe and was pleased that his mother could now feel safe in her own home again. “Mum will be able to sleep a lot better now.” https://46171959.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/46171959/PR/Crimsafe%20helps%20Great%20Grandma%20to%20live%20safer%20in%20her%20home.mp4 Crimsafe’s Head of Marketing, Natalie Hodgskin, said that the community can visit Secure Score, Crimsafe’s free online tool, to assess their home security. “Intruders look for opportunities to easily enter homes.” “There are simple, no cost ways that can help to deter intruders, so you and your family can live safer every day in your home.” “Visit securescore.crimsafe.com.au to assess your home security and learn how to increase your Secure Score.” “Crimsafe’s webshop has a range of security accessories to help detect, monitor and prevent theft, anywhere you go,” Ms. Hodgskin said. “Visit shop.crimsafe.com.au to view our range of quality portable safes, multi-purpose lock cables, security signs, lock boxes, Ring security cameras, anti-theft backpacks and more.” If you’d like to receive a free measure and quote from your local Crimsafe Authorised Licensee, click here.
