There have been two burglaries in the area this week. The first on Silverdale Road. The offender approached the property through an insecure rear yard gate, climbing up to the rear dining room window using a pile of breeze blocks left on the floor to stand on. The insecure dining room window was then opened and the offender gained access to the property placing a foot on the windowsill. During the entry, the property owner was disturbed as the offender damaged the curtain pole pulling it from the wall mountings. The offender then made off, however then returned to the yard and was seen by the owner, but then made off again. In the second at Beverly House, the offender approached a wooden front door of the flat using force to break it open causing damage. Once inside, the offender removed property from within. Please advise residents to ensure all windows and doors are securely locked on properties at all times. Activate alarms throughout the night and when properties are unattended to deter offenders.
