We are receiving more reports of residential burglaries in the Cheylesmore and Hillfields area during the warmer months. 

Between the early hours of this morning, we had five incidents where offenders entered properties to steal car keys, laptops, jewellery, and other valuables. It's been reported two men are trying door handles between 2 - 5 am but have been deterred by digital doorbells and CCTV.

While some of these incidents are forced entry, many have taken advantage of open or insecure doors and windows.

Coventry Police are working around the clock to track down these offenders but we need your help. If you see any suspicious activity or vehicles on your road or properties please call us on 101. 

You can also talk to us online via our Live Chat or submit a report. You can also talk to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

If you witness a burglary in progress please call 999 immediately.

You can protect your property and vehicles by double checking your windows and doors are shut and locked at night. 

We know this can be difficult with the rising temperatures so here are some other ways you can keep your valuables and family safe:
