AFTER repeated break ins, The Burrum District Museum in Howard has been granted funds to increase their security measures.

The museum was a received $7000 through the 2017 Safer Queensland Community Grants Program.

The building is often considered an "easy target" due to its location on the edge of town surrounded by bushland.

Funds will be put towards the installation of security cameras which is expected to add as a deterrent and help museum volunteers and police identify any culprits.
