suspicious activity


Remain alert - report suspicious activity!

 

Did you see any suspicious activity in and around the BUXWORTH area last night in particular WESTERN LANE?

Do you have any ring doorbell, dash cam or CCTV footage capturing any suspicious activity ?  

 

 Date 05/02/25 ,between 23:30 - 00:30

 

Keep an eye on your own and your neighbour’s property.

 

Burglars target homes that they think will contain valuables.

. A sure giveaway is leaving packaging from expensive items outside your front door.

.  Burglars often look for homes with windows or doors left open or with vulnerable features that they can exploit.

.  Burglars are aware of the times when someone is expected to be away from their house such as during the school run or holidays.

.  Burglars typically do not want to be seen or heard and if they feel that they would be noticed by a neighbour or passerby then they are more likely to feel exposed and may move on to find somewhere else to burgle.

.  Burglars often choose a home because they’ve spotted a specific vehicle, motorcycle or bicycle they want to steal – and the keys are more than likely to be inside the residence.

.  Sheds and garages are often vulnerable as they are not that secure and contain tools which the burglar can use to assist them to gain entry to a home.

 

. Upgrade security where possible.
