Crosby and Park

The ward area continues to be a target for persons who are targeting sheds and garages for pedal cycles, motorcycles, power tools and other items of value.  The Force has made progress in identifying some suspects and outlets for stolen property, which reduced the number of offences for a while, but now we are seeing an increase in overnight burglaries and attempts to gain entry.

Whilst we continue to look to identify these persons and deal with them in a proportionate manner, we are asking you to help us by taking steps to deter would be burglars.  This can be done by looking at weaknesses to your property and outbuildings, and making life harder for them.  Reporting incidents such as 'garden hopping' during the night and providing information or CCTV showing clear facial images is encouraged so we can stop them.

Please consider signing up to My Community Alert so you can possibly be alerted to an incident in your area or be sent crime prevention advice.

If you have any questions, please make contact with the team and we will help you if we can.
