Burglary update Great road


Dear Resident

 

A man has been charged in connection with a burglary in #HemelHempstead.

Police were called shortly before 7.40pm on Wednesday (5 March) to report suspicious activity at an address in Great Road.

Officers attended and carried out a search of the area, detaining a man a short time later.

Jewellery items, confirmed as missing from the address, were recovered.

Skip Grant, aged 45, of Hobletts Road, #HemelHempstead, has been charged with burglary and appeared before Hatfield Remand Court today (Friday 7 March).

He was remanded into custody ahead of his next court hearing on Tuesday 8 April.

Further enquiries are being carried out by detectives from the Dacorum Local Crime Unit.

 

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.
