Ballymena businesses are being urged to take steps to protect their property.
The police advice follows a number of recent burglaries in the town centre.
Officers are urging Ballymena business owners to ensure less visible entrances at the back of their properties are fully secured.
They also state that any suspicious persons or activity be reported to them as soon as possible on the non-emergency number 101.
