4/1 Friday
5.30 a.m. Moneyrow Green, Holyport. The owner heard the
alarm go off and went to investigate. Thieves had cut through two
bolts in an attempt to break in, but the alarm sounded and they made off
immediately. This is our message. If
you want to reduce your chances of being burgled, substantially – get
an alarm. There is a proviso – you must set it. Thieves
break a window, or attempt to break in, to see if the alarm is set. If
it is, they always leave immediately, if it is not set –
well........The most common reason I hear for alarms not being set, is
– pets (thieves know this and look for evidence of a pet dog or cat,
in the garden, or a cat / dog flap in the rear door. Almost all
alarms now are pet sensitive and can be zoned. There should be no
excuse. If you have paid good money for an alarm – please use it
and really reduce your chances of being a victim of crime.

Neighbourhood
Page:

window smashing the double glazed window – no entry gained and nothing
stolen.
4/1 – 5/1
Friday 8.30 p.m. / Friday 6.30 p.m. Whurley Way, Furze
Platt X 2. Burglary. Possible letterbox entry through a
UPVC door. Laptop, debit / credit cards and cash stolen. Anne
Chalmers our Crime Reduction Advisor, has produced a new door sticker
which matches the – ‘we do not buy at the door sticker’, which
goes on the inside of UPVC doors. It has an image of how to lock
the door, to remind owners that UVPC doors must be double locked, at all
times using the key. Just as wooden doors must be double locked
using the key and mortise lock for the same reason. It is not
sufficient, to close the door and push up the handle. Opportunist
thieves have a piece of bent metal, they insert through the letterbox to
pull the handle down. By using the key to double lock the door,
this can never happen. I will have the stickers placed in the
reception areas of the police stations in the borough if you want to
collect one. Burglary. Again letterbox entry
– handbag, purse and contents – cards and cash, 46’’ flat screen
TV and laptops X 2 stolen. Various cards have been recovered from
