Advisory: Residential Burglaries in Paget & Devonshire

An apparent series of reported burglaries took place earlier this week in the Trimingham Hill, Seabright Avenue Paget area and the Watlington Road, Jubilee Road Devonshire area.

Inquiries into these six reported burglaries, four in Paget and two in Devonshire, are ongoing.

Residents are reminded to be vigilant for suspicious individuals in their neighbourhoods and encouraged to secure their homes by ensuring all windows and doors are locked before leaving their property unattended.

Air conditioning units should also be secured and it is recommended that all valuables are kept in a safe or safety deposit box if possible.

In addition, residents are strongly advised to take pictures of all their valuables and record serial numbers of all electronic goods. In the event that any personal property is stolen and later recovered, these items can be more easily identified.

Members of the public should report any suspicious activity seen in their neighbourhoods without delay to the nearest police station or the main police telephone number 295-0011.
