Burglary on Burnaby Street

There has recently been a burglary on Burnaby Street. Opportunist suspect entered through an open window.

Burglars target windows as they can offer easier access than doors. Check how your windows look from the outside, removing potential access points where you can.

Are there walls, bins or garden furniture that could be used to reach windows?

Key operated locks are recommended for window types that open out, rather than up, and any ground floor or accessible windows. Remember, window locks are only effective if used, so check that you have locked them before you leave home or go to bed.

Window opening restrictors allow you to ventilate your home but make sure they can’t be picked and unlocked from outside.

Chelsea Safer Neighbourhood Officers whilst on patrol regularly speak to residents regarding safety of their home and preventing an opportunist burglary.
