There was an Attempted burglary at the George Pub on Duke Street in the early hours of this morning, Tuesday 24 February.
It is believed that thieves were trying to gain entry through a window at the rear the building.
Police were called and patrols in the area have been increased.
Local police are investigating and call upon people in the Southport to take more time to ensure their property and deter thieves.
It is vital that we all do everything we can to stop these people in their tracks.
“It doesn’t take long to double-check you’ve locked up your house or car properly and it could save you the hours of stress and upset that come with being burgled.”
Simple steps to deter burglars and car thieves, include:
Lock front and back doors when you are elsewhere in the house or in your back garden
Make sure you lock UPVC doors properly by lifting the handle and turning the key
Make use of your burglar alarm when you are going out or to bed at night
Keep valuables such as laptops, phones and handbags out of sight and away from windows where someone peering in can spot them
Don’t leave valuables on display in your vehicle – take them with you or, if you can’t, at least put them out of sight in the boot
Always lock your vehicle, even if only leaving it unattended for a few moments, and activate the alarm.
