Dear resident

A burglary has been reported in your neighbourhood.

If you saw or heard anything or have any information about the below incident please call our non emergency number 101, quoting the reference number provided.

Alternatively you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Reference: 20/966066/24​.
Location: Longmore Road, Shirley.
Date and time: Between 23:30pm on Sunday 10th November 2024 and 11:00am on Monday 11th November 2024.
Details: The glass panel on the front door was smashed, allowing access to the house. The house was then searched and jewellery was stolen.

Officers from your local neighbourhood Policing Team will be conducting high visibility patrols in the area in a bid to prevent further offences and try to catch offenders.

Where possible please make sure house alarms are set when the property is vacant, decent motion activated lighting and CCTV cameras are set up at the front and rear of your property and steering wheel locks are used on your vehicles. Installing anti-snap locks on your front and rear doors will also drastically reduce the chance of you becoming a victim of this type of crime.
