General - Creeper Burglaries - All Areas

There has been a recent trend whereby creeper burglaries have occurred around tea-time / early evening while occupants are in the house.
As the house is occupied the property is unlocked and the thieves enter the house through the unlocked door and steal the car keys / vehicle. This criminal activity during the busy evening with persons and vehicles out and about or making the homward journey obviously arouses less suspicion than the thieves operating in the late of night or early hours of the morning.
Please ensure your property is always secure even if in residence at the time. A simple turn of the key will allow access to those who are welcome and keep out those who are not!
