In the last couple of weeks Bracknell and Wokingham Local Policing Area has had a few reports of burglaries where the offenders got into the house through the letterbox. Burglars can gain entry by inserting a tool through the flap and then unlock the door from the inside. Another method is to use a tool to reach keys and valuables that have been left near the front door.
We would encourage everyone to ensure that their doors are double locked so that they can’t be opened by pulling down the handle. Additionally keys should not be left within sight of the front door.
