A burglary over the Christmas period at Inchbrook Road, Kenilworth has been followed by two Ford vehicles both being stolen from addresses elsewhere in the town overnight between the 2 and 3 January 2018.

Kenilworth Watch News says that this just reinforces the need for local people to remain vigilant and take all the steps they can to ensure property is secure and deterrents are in place. Kenilworth Watch News also said they would like to see much more visibility of Police Officers on patrol in and around our town to support the town’s two Police Community Support Officers and local residents as there is a limit to what individual householders can do. Regular police patrols gather intelligence and provide a deterrent, without them criminals are more emboldened because the likelihood of being caught is low.
