MALDON: daytime dwelling burglaries, July 2009
Detectives are appealing for information following a number of dwelling burglaries in Maldon district. There were three burglaries on July 6, 2009, which occurred during the daytime and where entry to the property was gained from the rear of the property by forcing or smashing a rear window or door.
Unknown suspects forced entry to a property in Basin Road, Heybridge, between 6:30am & 4:30pm on July 6, by forcing a rear window with an unknown implement, causing £50 of damage, and stealing cards and jewellery with an estimated total value in the low four figures.
Unknown suspects forced entry to a property in Southminster Road, Mayland, between 9am & 11:40am on July 6, by smashing the glass in an uPVC door at the rear of the property, causing an estimated £200 of damage. Nothing was stolen.
Unknown suspects forced entry to a property in Maldon Road, Burnham-on-Crouch, between 7:45am & 12:40pm on July 6, by smashing a rear window, causing an estimated £300 of damage, and stealing jewellery with an estimated value of around £1000.
Dc Alison Cotter of CID in Maldon said:
“These crimes follow a similar pattern, with the burglar or burglars forcing their way into people’s homes during daylight hours, via the rear of the property. We are actively investigating these crimes, and are determined to catch those responsible. I would ask anyone with information to contact CID in Maldon on 0300 33334444. If you see anybody acting suspiciously, especially in a rear garden, or if you see any unknown or unrecognised vehicles in your neighbourhood, please call 999 immediately.”
Crime Reduction Officer Trisha Staerck said:
“I would urge residents to make it as difficult as possible for criminals to gain access to the rear of your property. Please ensure that the locks and bolts to your garden doors are in good condition, and can do their job of keeping unwanted visitors out. I would ask residents to consider fitting burglar alarms, which can both deter burglars and help police to catch them.”
It’s also important to take sensible precautions during the hot summer weather.
Dc Alison Cotter said: “Although all these burglaries involved criminals forcing their way into properties, they will also seek to take advantage of open or unlocked doors and windows. Please make sure that you lock up and close all your windows when you leave home.”
Crime Reduction Officer Trisha Staerck adds:
“It’s important to keep cool during the hot weather, but I would urge residents to be sensible at the same time. Unfortunately, passing thieves or burglars can regard an open door or window as an opportunity for them to chance their luck, and attempt to steal your property. It’s also very easy to doze off for a few minutes in the hot weather – providing a thief with the opportunity they’re looking for. So, please do be sensible even when you’re at home.
“If you’re leaving your home unoccupied – whilst going to work, doing the shopping, doing the school run, whatever - do check all your doors and windows to ensure they’re closed and locked before going out. Noone wants to come home to the disruption and heartache of a burglary.”
Police are appealing for anyone with information on any of these crimes to telephone Essex Police on 0300 3334444, and ask for CID in Maldon, or call CRIMESTOPPERS anonymously on 0800 555 111.
For further information on ensuring your home is as safe and secure as possible, please contract Crime Reduction Officer Trisha Staerck, at Chelmsford police station, on 01245 212548.
