Officers are urging residents to be vigilant following an increase in the number of reported burglaries in Burntwood recently.

Police were first called to a property near Chase Terrace at around 11.20pm on Wednesday (15 December).

The victim that a window at the rear of the property had been damaged and a remote control car, along with other items, was stolen.

A further three burglaries were reported on Monday (20 December).

Officers were called an address near Bridge Cross Road at around 10.20am.

The victim reported a brick had been thrown at a window, however, nothing was taken.

Later the same day, officers attended a property off Boney Hay Road at about 9.15pm.

Cash and electrical items including a Kindle, iPad and a laptop were reported stolen.

Around an hour later, officers were called to attend an address off Hospital Road.

A property window had sustained damage from a brick being thrown, however, nothing was taken.

Detective Inspector Peter Goodwin of Staffordshire Police, said: “We would like to reassure residents that we are doing all we can to tackle theft and burglary, especially at this time of year.

“ I would like to remind everyone of the importance of making sure all windows and doors are locked, an anti-burglar alarm is fitted and active, and that all valuables are hidden from sight.”

In order to protect yourself and your home from potential theft, officers also advise:

 Install CCTV or a smart doorbell to your property
 Ensure that keys to vehicles are kept in a secure location and not in plain-sight
 Make sure sheds and garages are locked
 Pay attention to cold callers who knock your door - they may be scouting the property for a future burglary.
