Winter advice from the police

Leicestershire Constabulary has received 20 reports of burglaries where car keys and cars have been stolen. Many of these have taken place at addresses in north of the county and vehicles taken include several BMW 1 series, a Jeep Cherokee and a Saab 93. Patrols have been increased in the areas affected by the incidents. Officers are advising people to keep their premises secure at all times, lock all windows and doors and ensure all keys are kept out of sight and in a secure place. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Police are also reminding the public that during dark afternoons and evenings apparently empty homes are attractive to thieves. If you won’t be home by dusk they suggest using an electronic timer to switch on a lamp, television or radio to create the impression someone is at home and don’t leave tools or other items in your rear garden or yard that thieves can use to get into your house.
