Police carry out checks in Telford neighbourhood afters two burglaries in a week
Police have upped their patrols in a Telford neighbourhood and carried out other community responses after two burglaries in the area last week.
Officers say that scene of crime officers have attended the addresses in Priorslee and completed their checks while safer neighbourhood team members have given advice to neighbours.
PCSO Wayne Jervis, of the policing team in St Georges, Priorslee and Muxton, said: "If you see anything suspicious please let us know. Please look out for your neighbours and be aware that criminals are active in the area.
"The non-emergency contact number is 101. Emergency contact number is 999. Keep your doors and windows locked even if you are in the house."
PCSO Jarvis said the victims have been spoken with and offered anti-crime Smart Water packs.
Officers say there are some simple, inexpensive and effective things you can do to help secure your home and property. Security tips and advice can be found on the West Mercia Police website www.westmercia.police.uk.
People who aren't comfortable contacting police directly can pass on information anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website: www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
