A series of burglaries have been committed in our part of Suffolk over the past month.
Offenders are targeting outbuildings and particularly storage containers (of the type seen in the Port of Felixstowe) to steal power tools and especially expensive, ride-on lawn mowers. Sports clubs and pavilions have been targeted with locks being forced and speculative, forced entry gained. Some containers have had nothing inside, so the offenders clearly are not necessarily forcing entry to locations they know have something worth stealing and are gaining entry to any container or out-building in the hope they contain something valuable.
Please pass this information to any organisation you are aware of which might be vulnerable, including individuals.
Please make sure such locations are secure and locks are used where fitted. CCTV should also be checked to make sure it’s in working order. For crime prevention advice visit https://www.suffolk.police.uk/advice/crime-prevention-z
