Don't be a victim
29th March 2010, Insp Steve Riley
Over the past week the Belgrave and Latimer areas have seen several burglaries where the suspect has climbed through open first floor windows. On one occasion they broke into the garden shed and then used the ladders to gain access into the house. Please keep all of your windows, even the upstairs ones shut and locked when out of the house.
