3 Walk in Burglaries across Kenilworth on Remembrance Weekend as warnings go unheeded!

Crown Watch, one of the longest and most established Neighbourhood Watch schemes in Kenilworth is frustrated and concerned that advice that the police and Neighbourhood Watch have recently sent out to Kenilworth and District is being ignored and as a result opportunist burglars are continuing to be successful. The concerns come as further burglaries have taken place over the Remembrance weekend involving unlocked doors.

Of further concern is the strong possibility that offenders are prowling around many more properties, particularly at the rear, until they ‘strike lucky’ when they find a door unlocked. Crown Watch are advising two things in the light of these latest events.

1. Make sure that front and rear doors are kept locked at ALL times. As these crimes have shown a moments lapse is all that is needed for a criminal to enter your home and violate your space, take property, valuables and in some cases your vehicle. Whilst criminals continue to ‘get lucky’ finding unlocked doors and vehicles in Kenilworth they will keep coming back!

2. If you see people in your garden, at the rear of your property or something similar at a neighbours property contact the police immediately on 999. Don’t delay because we want to catch these criminals before more Kenilworth homes are the subject of burglary.
