Local Priorities Burglary - Residential Message

Local Priorities Burglary - Residential Message

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Burglary - Residential, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Good afternoon,

There have been a few houses in your area where door handles have been tried, and people have been peering into the windows. This is a reminder to keep your doors locked, even during the daytime and to be careful when leaving anything on display that can be viewed from the window. We are dealing with this and we have identified the offender, but this can always happen to anyone at any time.

Thankyou for your co operation,

If you wish to report a non emergency crime please call 101, and in cases of emergency call 999.

Operation Defender is Lancashire Constabulary’s response to domestic burglaries. It aims to locate and arrest offenders, take positive action to reduce residential burglary through crime prevention advice, and to safeguard and support victims of crime, keeping them at the heart of investigations. 

Residents reporting home burglaries can expect a visit from their local police to provide a site assessment and advice to improve further burglaries.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.lancashire.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online webpage Home - Lancashire Constabulary - Report Online or call the non-emergency number 101.

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
