Burglary update - 14/05/2026

While officers follow up lines of enquiry after a number of burglaries in Orston and Aslockton I would like to appeal for information and give general crime prevention advice to residents.

Overnight from Wednesday 13th of May to Thursday 14th of May two vehicles were stolen from Orston in the village centre near to the church and two other houses reported attempted burglaries. Another vehicle was stolen after keys were burgled from a house in Aslockton.

If anyone noticed any suspicious behaviour over night or has CCTV, Doorbell camera footage or other information about these burglaries please ring 101 quoting incident number 0091_14052026.

Please try to ensure doors and windows are closed and locked overnight and when you are not in the room, car keys are stored away from doors and out of sight.

The method of entry is unknown , previous thefts across Rushcliffe have involved different methods of attacking locks.

For anyone with uPVC or composite doors fitted with Euro profile locks upgrading to British standard 1 or 3 star locks prevents common attack techniques of picking, snapping or drilling locks.

The addition of metal door handles and a torch guard prevents the use of a blow torch to attack the lock to gain entry.

The picture attached is a uPVC door with a torch guard fitted around a BS 3* lock.
