Hello Resident,

We hope you are keeping well, here is an update for the last few days in Burbage.

A report of a break in to an unoccupied property under renovation, on Duport Road. The incident is understood to have occurred between 02:00-03:00 on the morning of the 10th. If you saw anyone running away from this area, please get in touch. A small amount of general household items taken. 24000540760

We have spent the last few days investigating the recent bicycle thefts and a shed break at the locations of Copper Drive, Woodland Avenue and Forryan Road in the early hours of 14th. Please ensure mopeds, motorbikes and bicycles are locked away and out of sight of opportunistic criminals. 

We have visited the Coventry Building society in Hinckley today, where we spoke to residents (some Burbage residents) around scams and home security

As part of our ongoing work in relation to crime reduction around vehicle crime, we have visited locations such as the Jury’s Inn to complete patrols and support with prevention of theft from vehicles (particularly tools from vans). Theft from vehicles at locations such as hotels and car parks are a large percentage of the overall theft from vehicles in Burbage. Please bear this in mind if you are leaving your vehicle on a car park. 

We are at the SPAR on Lutterworth Road on the 24th of September from around 15:00 – 16:30, if you would like to pop along for a chat or look at some of the crime prevention items. 

One for the diary, we are holding our “darker nights” crime prevention event at Burbage Millennium Hall on Sunday 13th of October from 12:00-16:00. We hold these events in preparation for historic increases in crime such as residential burglary and car theft, as we head into the darker nights and winter. 

Thank you and take care. 

Darren 6035.
