Two unknown have males entered the victim's rear garden in Caishowe Road close to Oddesey Road , by jumping over a fence. Garden furniture was moved to enable the second male to gain access into the garden. The two males then approached a shed located in the rear garden. Both males are described wearing Motorcycle helmets and puffer clothing. One of the males used a hammer to forcibly attempt entry by smashing the shed door handle and damaging the left-hand pane of the double glazed glass door. The noise from this activity woke the victim, who went downstairs to the kitchen. Upon being disturbed, the two males immediately fled the scene by running back over the fence in the direction from which they had entered it is believed in the direction of Oddesey Road.

Tips to prevent burglary:
Check downstairs windows and doors are securely locked before you leave or go to bed. Secure UPVC doors by lifting the handle and locking it to engage the security features. Don’t leave keys, phones or other valuables on windowsills or in any other visible place. Securely lock rear gates, sheds and garages. Keep tools and ladders locked away, as they could be used to break into your home. Use laminate glass where possible for any rear doors or windows. If this is not practicable, consider the use of security film over existing windows. Use a “Fake TV” or timer switches on lamps to give the impression someone is at home. Consider using a doorbell camera, interior camera, or a monitored burglar alarm. Consider adding trellis to any side or rear boundaries to add extra height up to a maximum of 2 metres.
Please be vigilant and do report any suspicious activity or behaviour in the area. If you need to report a crime please call 101 or go online here.
