Dear resident

A burglary has been reported in your neighbourhood.

If you saw or heard anything or have any information about the below incident please call our non-emergency number 101, quoting the reference number provided.

Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Reference: 20/257541/25​.
Location: St Georges Road, Shirley.
Date and time: Between 23:00pm on the 26/05/2025 and 07:50am on the 27/05/2025.
Details: The lock to the side UPVC door was forced open. An internal door has then also been forced open, but nothing was stolen from within the property.

Officers from your local neighbourhood Policing Team will be conducting high visibility patrols in the area in a bid to prevent further offences and try to catch offenders.

Where possible please make sure house alarms are set when the property is vacant or when you go to bed and decent motion activated lighting and CCTV cameras are set up at the front and rear of your property. Installing anti-snap locks at the front and rear of your house will also reduce the chance of your house being targeted.
