Burglary near you

Dear Resident

You are receiving this because you live in the vicinity of a burglary that occurred on 27th June on Crawford Avenue, BD6 and the method of attack was by blow torch and then snapping the cylinder lock allowing entry. 

The unknown suspects entered the property via the side door and took the victims car keys. They then made off with the car which was parked outside in an unknown direction

Firstly if you have CCTV or a doorbell camera please check it between midnight and 7.45am to check if you had any activations. 

Secondly if you have a door with a cylinder lock (composite or UPVC doors mainly) please check the lock. 

Make sure you are satisfied with the rating and is fitted correctly. The locks we recommend have 3 stars written on the front (see image) and are TS007 or SS312 rated. Many firms offer these anti-snap locks. Whilst we do not wish to scare anyone, it is always good to review your own security, and report anything suspicious to the Police. Should you have any information about either burglary please contact us on 101.

Thanks
