Crime: 9 July 2014
THE GOOD NEWS – LOOK AT THE
NUMER OF - NO
CRIME TO REPORT. MESSAGES BELOW !!!
A SALIENT REMINDER FROM WINDSOR:
8/7 3.15 p.m. / 5.15 p.m. Windmill Close, Windsor. The owner was at home asleep. An offender opened the side gate and went to the rear of the house. They then opened the INSECURE patio doors and slipped inside. They emptied the contents of a handbag out on the bed and stole the purse. They then searched a jewellery box on the dressing table, but nothing was taken. Tidy search of the rest of the house, whilst the owner slept. I have included this amount of detail, to impress upon everyone, the need to secure their homes at all times. I am not suggesting fortress Britain, but sensible precautions. If you are going to take a nap, lock the front and back doors along with closing any easily accessible ground floor windows ??? As I often say – we have no real burglars in the Royal Borough - but we do have ‘opportunist thieves’, out and about looking for potential targets, all the time. Trying car door handles, trying front doors, looking up the sides of houses to see if side gates are open – you get the point ? No-one, would want to be awoken from a nap, by a stranger inside their home !!!
