Home protection reminder following burglaries

We’d like to remind you during this warm whether to take measures to protect your home from opportunistic thieves

There have been two reports made in Thorpe St Andrew in the last few days in which someone has entered the victims’ properties through an open ground-floor window and stolen items from inside.

While enquiries are ongoing to establish whether these incidents are linked, officers would like to remind you to close and lock windows and doors when a room isn’t in use, and to hide any valuables on display.
