Witness appeal following burglaries in St Albans

Witness appeal following burglaries in St Albans

Detectives in St Albans are appealing for witnesses and information following two burglaries in the town. 

Both incidents occurred between 1.40pm and 8.30pm on Thursday 29 October.

One burglary took place in Gurney Court Road, where offenders forced a rear door and gained entry to the house. A messy search was carried out but nothing appeared to have been taken.

The second offence occurred in Gainsborough Avenue. Access was gained to the property by smashing a side door window. Again, a messy search was carried out and this time jewellery was stolen.

Investigating officer DC Simon Day said: “We are appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have seen any suspicious activity, to get in contact. If you had security cameras in operation at that time or were driving in the area with a dash camera in operation – we would also like to hear from you.”

Anyone with any other information that could help officers with their enquiries, is asked to contact PC Simon Day via email – Simon.Day@herts.police.uk .
