Burglary Dwelling Cut Throat Lane Hockley Heath. At @1500 on Thursday a property had the rear door of the property smashed with a wooden sleeper to gain entry. Fortunately the level of security prevented the offenders from being successful. On entering the alarm sounded and the offenders made off without taking any items from within.
There were 2 male offenders around 5'10" - 6'0" one male larger build than the other. The vehicle used was believed to be a white or silver van possibly a Peugeot and was a transit size vehicle. The van had a sliding door on the passenger side, and of the 2 rear doors, the off side one was damaged at the bottom.
Also for information, it appears there has been opportunists in the Earlswood area along The Common and Malthouse Lane checking car doors to see if they are secure. Two insecure vehicles were entered and searched on The Common, and a secure vehicle had a window smashed and a digital camera and sat-nav were taken on Malthouse Lane.
Please ensure vehicles are left secure when unattended, and make sure all items are removed from the vehicle, offenders have been known to smash windows to search an empty carrier bag just in case.
If you can help with any information please call 01926 415000 quoting the inc number.
For any crime prevention advice please contact myself on the details below, mobile Police Surgeries are taking place on the first Friday of the month at locations throughout Tanworth/Earlswood, full details on the SNT website or the Parish Magazine.
