Police warning after spate of burglaries in Southport

Three burglaries have occurred in Southport, in close proximity to each other, between Saturday21st  and Tuesday 23rd January 2018.

The burglaries were in Preston New Road, Longacre and Cambridge Road and with another incident of suspicious circumstances in Bakers Lane at 04:30AM on Sunday morning, which may be linked to the burglaries.

At each location entry has been gained by entering via rear doors or windows.

PCSO’s are in the process of visiting the victims at each address and have conducted house to house enquiries. They have also letterdropped the areas to make local residents aware, so that they can review their own home security, to try to reduce further victims. Investigations into the crimes continue.

The autumn and winter home security advice we gave in November is still relevant. Please take a look to see what you can do to further secure your home. It is important to keep doors and windows locked at all times.

Remember, if you see any suspicious activity in or around yours or your neighbours homes, dial 101 and report it.

In emergencies, always dial 999.
