Insecure Property.

The following message has been received from the Charnwood Local Policing Unit:-

Inspector Duncan Southall and Officers at the Charnwood Local Policing Unit are aware that there has been an increase in vehicle crime and home burglaries over the last two weeks in Birstall. Unfortunately, upon investigation, it was found that a number of both crimes were made easier for the offender, because the vehicle / property had been left insecure.
With Christmas approaching and the extremely cold weather, we can be all rushing about and not taking the care that we would take normally. However, we do not want people to be victims, so we would ask you to double check the security on your vehicle / home, when leaving them.
The local Police have been increasing their presence in the village with additional uniform and plain clothes patrols.
Officers and staff at the Charnwood Local Policing Unit wish you a Happy and Peaceful Christmas, followed by a Healthy and Crime-free 2011.
