Burglary

Dear residents,

A burglary has been reported in the LEOS area, specifically Silhill.

We have recently seen an increase in burglaries targeting family gold being reported to us.

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: 20/145825/26​.
Location: Broad Oaks Road.
Date and time: at 19:00 on the 12th of February 

Details: A lone male has smashed a window on the ground floor and entered the property. He has then searched multiple room targeting jewellery in his search.

The offender has then left the property with several rings and watches. 

You can help make life very difficult for would be burglars with a few steps:

Please lock away all jewellery, gold, and designer goods in a secure safe or container if possible.

Check your doors, windows, and porches are locked and secured and remove keys from doors.

Where possible please make sure house alarms are set when the property is vacant, or when you go to bed.

If you have CCTV or doorbell camera please make sure, they are fully functioning and are correctly set up.

Installing anti-snap locks at the front and rear of your house will also reduce the chance of your house being targeted as these are off putting to would be intruders.

If you see anyone acting suspiciously or want to report a crime after it’s happened call us on 101. In an emergency, always call 999.
