Burglary - Residential - Alexandra Road |
||
|
Dear Resident,
On 03/08/2026 around 21:53 a burglary took place at Alexandra Road.
Victims were out of the address and had locked the premises up and was all secure. The home owners security system identified an individual inside of the address and confirmed with the home owners to see if anyone should be there, which they confirmed that there should not be. The security company set off a smoke screen inside of the address. The offenders have gained entry into the property via a back window of the address by damaging the frame in two places and breaking the window latch. The latch was located on the sofa which is directly behind the window. During the search of the house, no suspects were located inside of the premises. Offenders have made off in unknown direction.

Tips to prevent burglary:
Check downstairs windows and doors are securely locked before you leave or go to bed. Secure UPVC doors by lifting the handle and locking it to engage the security features. Don’t leave keys, phones or other valuables on windowsills or in any other visible place. Securely lock rear gates, sheds and garages. Keep tools and ladders locked away, as they could be used to break into your home. Use laminate glass where possible for any rear doors or windows. If this is not practicable, consider the use of security film over existing windows. Use a “Fake TV” or timer switches on lamps to give the impression someone is at home. Consider using a doorbell camera, interior camera, or a monitored burglar alarm. Consider adding trellis to any side or rear boundaries to add extra height up to a maximum of 2 metres.
Please be vigilant and do report any suspicious activity or behaviour in the area. If you need to report a crime please call 101 or go online here.
