NOVEMBER / DECEMBER CRIME FIGURES We had 6 burglaries in the 2 month period. The burglar entered most of the properties through rear or side windows. In one incident however the burglar managed to obtain the keys to the property through the cat flap! The keys had been left on the kitchen worktop. Please take care not to leave keys within the reach of a hooked piece of wire put through a letter box as this is another way keys to front doors and cars have been obtained in the past There were also 7 burglaries from sheds and garages during the same period.
