About your team
Safer
Neighbourhood Teams work with local people and partners to identify, tackle and
solve issues that matter to the community where you live.
Making
neighbourhoods safer by cutting day to day crime and anti-social behaviour is
at the heart of keeping people in Warwickshire safe. Thanks to an investment in
mobile tablet style computers, these will enable officers to spend more time on
patrol on the street and in neighbourhoods.
Officers will
continue to come to people when they need them and provide a high quality
service however you contact us - in person (on the street, at community bases
and at community forums), on the phone or online.

Long Itchington Ward
Incident
394 - 29/07/2016
A burglary
occurred on Marton Road, Long Itchington where offenders approached rear of a
caravan; they then forced a window open to allow access into the caravan. Once
inside, offenders had taken numerous items that follow; - 6 watches, bracelets,
cash and most namely 2 sets of car keys (one of which was to a Vauxhall Vivaro
van – which was then stolen, and the keys to a BMW. Offenders
then made off in an unknown direction, making good their escape.
This is an
example of how risky it can be to store keys to your vehicles outside your
house in a motor home/ caravan. Offenders like the aforementioned will always look
for an easier burglary of a caravan or anything vulnerable that is in the
surrounding exterior of any property. THINK! Do not give them the chance or
make any attempted thefts easier for burglars by leaving any important keys or
valuables outside of your home. Make life more difficult for anyone who is
trying to get there hands on your possessions, store them out of sight in more
secluded places, not in key bowls or hanging up right by the front door.

reported theft of their handbag and tablet from their home the day before (30th

Once
again we see an example of burglars being given quick easy access to the
interior of someone property and an easy theft which can just as easily be
prevented by ensuring when you are in the garden or outside of your property(s)
you keep all doors and windows shut/ locked at all times.

Southam
and the surrounding area have once again had a high number of burglaries and
property thefts within the last 3 - 4 weeks. It is more important than ever you
ensure you property(s) are secure, especially at night. Do not give burglars
the opportunities they are looking for – THINK – have I locked all doors and
windows? Have I left anything valuable out on show? Are my keys out of sight? If
you are at your property worried someone is trying to break in or something
feels not quite right, do not hesitate to call 101 or if a crime or emergency
is in progress call 999.
If
you have any information regarding any of these incidents, please also call
101.
