POLICE have warned that there has been a surge in burglaries across the area.
A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police in Bracknell and Wokingham said that Earley and Wokingham are being targeted.
In a post on social media, the force spokesperson said: “Please remember to securely lock your house overnight or when you leave. Don’t forget outbuildings, sheds and garages.
“Where possible, purchase camera doorbells, CCTV cameras and alarms. These all become increasingly more affordable and typically easy to install yourself.”
They also urged residents to consider motion detection lights or leaving a light on inside or outside the property.
On Saturday, January 22, the Bracknell and Wokingham team were called out to four burglaries reported within three hours.
“We encourage you to call 999 if you see anyone acting suspiciously around a driveway or property especially during the hours of darkness,” the spokesperson added.
They said that burglaries have been happening during the day as well, and residents should keep an eye out for any vehicles that appear out of place.
