Dear Resident.

A burglary occurred in Holte Drive at 1.30am on the 22nd of April.

Unknown offenders approached the front of the property and were able to open an insecure porch door, then snap the lock of the door to the main property.

Once inside the offenders removed a set of car keys, and several bank cards before making good their escape.

Although they had keys to a car parked at the property, then did not take the vehicle.

This incident highlights the importance of ensuring all doors providing access to a property are secure.

The use of anti snap locks is recommended. More information on these locks can be found by visiting : www.locksmiths.co.uk
