Burglary-Pine Crest-41/19597/25

Dear Resident

 

Between 12pm and 10.11pm on the 1st March a burglary had taken place at a property on Pine Crest in Oaklands.

Access was gained by smashing the glass on the rear door. A messy search has taken place and suspect/s have made off with a Rolex watch worth £4,500, jewellery and a hard drive worth £100.

 

Please contact the police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime number 41/19597/25 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.
