Beware! Fair weather Burglars!

PEOPLE LIVING IN THE EAST RIDING are being urged to take another look at their home security after a spate of burglaries and attempted burglaries across the area including many with insecure doors and windows because of the recent good weather.

Detective Sergeant Gavin Orsborne from the Humberside Police Serious and Acquisitive Crime Team said:

“Opportunist burglars are clearly making the most of the invitations they are being offered by householders across the East Riding who continue to leave their homes insecure. Whilst I understand the need to keep cool when the weather is warm it is imperative that windows and doors are always kept secure to protect homes from burglars who will act within seconds and cause upset and misery to their victims. People need to take the simple steps now before they too become victims of burglary.”

Investigations are underway into burglaries and attempted burglaries and officers are keen to hear from anyone who thinks they may have information about incidents or may have seen something or someone suspicious in the vicinity of any offences.

Witnesses should contact Humberside Police on 0845 60 60 222 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
