Bruce security tip
Students, share houses and event days
Half of Bruce's homes were rented at the 2021 Census, many near the university. In share houses and student flats, keep doors locked even when people are home, keep bikes and laptops out of sight, and use a portable door lock and small safe. On event days at the stadium, park where it's lit and busy.
