South Gloucestershire Groups Safer Stronger Community Group

The South Glos area is currently suffering from a series of burglaries where the elderly are being targeted.

The method is generally to force a rear door or window and the offences are occurring between 7pm and 11pm in the evening, mostly on week days.

Police believe this is because they are not only identifying properties as having elderly occupiers but also because occupants are leaving the light on and the curtains open.

Please ensure that your doors and windows are locked and that curtains are drawn and please encourage any of your elderly friends and neighbours to do likewise.   If you are concerned  or observe any suspicious activity, please call the Police on 999.
