Grateful for an suggestions on a simple to fit device.

These are good:

As the window opens, the lower sash covers the bottom part of the plate
which strengthens the retention of the stop if the window is forced.

Ditch the screws they come with, they are too weedy, I think I used 1
1/4" x 10 or possibly 12 to make them a bit more secure.

Always fit in pairs.

With respect to your friend I wouldn't leave any windows open when a
place is unoccupied, whatever the security fitted.

With respect, we do exactly that on a regular basis, but then we don't
live in a Pikey area.
