Burglaries Update – Kenton East Ward

Dear Resident,

Over the past week, there have been 3 Residential Burglaries reported on

ROWLAND AVENUE, KENTON

GLENALMOND ROAD, KENTON

WAGHORN ROAD, KENTON

And 1 attempted burglary on ST PAUL'S AVENUE, KENTON.

In most of these cases, suspects tried to get in from the back garden area. If you've seen someone or something suspicious or have camera footage of 3 suspects wearing hoodies and balaclavas around the area, then please call/report it 101.

As your local Safer Neighbourhoods Team, it is my duty to remind and alert everyone to stay alert and follow some simple crime prevention tips so we can work together to keep our community safe:

Home Crime Prevention:

Leave a light on if it will be dark before you return home or install timer switches on lamps. Consider installing a visible burglar alarm or CCTV. Whatever your budget will allow.

Always LOCK windows and doors with the key. Doors that are not locked with the key are insecure.

In the garden ensure any dark areas have sensor lights. Planting spikey plants such as pyracantha can deter access in vulnerable areas.

Keep tools locked in sheds or outbuildings. Don’t let a burglar use your tools to gain access

Always check who’s at the door before you open it. Use your door chain. Don’t open it if you feel anxious or scared. Genuine callers won’t mind having their identity checked. If you are unsure call the police or a neighbour

In the evening shut the curtains and leave lights on.

Set your burglar alarm

Lock your shed or garage

Mark, register or record your valuables.
