Corrie star Colson Smith boosts home security following terrifying robbery at his property.

Coronation Street favourite Colson Smith, best known for playing Craig Tinker, has reportedly taken major steps to protect his home after being targeted in a frightening robbery. The actor, who has been part of the ITV soap since he was a teenager, was left shaken by the incident and has now ramped up security measures around his property to ensure both his safety and peace of mind.

According to reports, Colson wasted no time after the break-in. He has installed advanced CCTV systems, reinforced locks, and upgraded his alarm setup, determined not to let criminals catch him off guard again. Friends say he’s also exploring the use of smart security technology, including motion sensors and remote monitoring apps, to keep an eye on things when he’s away filming or working on other projects.

The robbery comes as a stark reminder of how vulnerable even well-known soap stars can be, and Colson’s experience has apparently left him more cautious about his privacy and security. While details of what was taken haven’t been fully revealed, the emotional toll of such a violation often outweighs the physical loss.

Despite the scare, Colson has reportedly remained upbeat and is leaning on close friends and family for support. Colleagues from Coronation Street are said to have rallied around him, offering both reassurance and advice. Fans online have also flooded him with kind messages, expressing both sympathy and relief that he wasn’t harmed during the robbery.
