Dear Resident
Between 15/01/2025 18:14 to 15/01/2025 18:20 a burglary took place in Claremont, Crescent, Croxley Green, Rickmansworth.
A male, wearing jeans, a woollen hat and hooded puffer coat carrying a large bag has been ringing door bells asking for money and saying that he had tea towels to sell.
A second male in a light coloured trousers, coat and beanie hat, carrying a large bag has been loitering behind the first male and has been trying the handles of peoples front doors and entering people's porches without any attempt to ring the door bells or knock on the outside doors.
CCTV has captured movement at a residents front door at 18:14 hours showing one of the males with a hood up exiting their porch, no items have been taken and no further entry has been gained into the residents house. Please contact the police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime number 41/5133/25 if you or your neighbours have any information relating to this crime. Alternatively, you can give information anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Please be vigilant and do report any suspicious activity or behaviour in the area.
Tips to prevent burglary: Check downstairs windows and doors are securely locked before you leave or go to bed. Use a “Fake TV” or timer switches on lamps to give the impression someone is at home. Don’t leave keys, phones or other valuables on windowsills or in any other visible place. Secure UPVC doors by lifting the handle and locking it to engage the security features. Consider using a doorbell camera, interior camera or a monitored burglar alarm. Securely lock rear gates, sheds and garages. Keep tools and ladders locked away, as they could be used to break into your home.
