Burglary in your area

Hello

I am just making you aware that there has been a recent burglary from a property on Broadhurst Rd close to the junction with Sevenoaks Drive. It happened between 18th June and 28th June when the occupants were away on holiday. An offender has smashed the patio doors of the property and made an untidy search of the home taking a large quantity of jewellery.

This is just a message to ask you to be vigilant and report anything suspicious you may see.

This is a good opportunity to remind you that there are a number of ways you can keep your home safe.  Always keep your doors and windows locked and try not to leave any valuables on show. Having some sort of CCTV/Ring Doorbell is also a deterrent.  A lot of burglaries are opportunistic where the offender tries their luck hoping to find an insecure property. Keeping valuables out of sight and doors locked should help deter anyone thinking of committing a crime.

You can report any suspicious activity on 101 or call 999 in an emergency if you need to
