Detectives investigating a number of overnight burglaries in Swansea are reminding residents to be vigilant and to keep their properties secure.
At least four properties were targeted by opportunist thieves in the Sandfields area overnight.
Detective Sergeant Sam Stanway said: “While we don’t want to alarm anyone, I’d like to encourage the public to take all steps available to them to try and minimise the risk of them falling victim to burglars.
“Although we are all spending far more time at home as a result of the Covid-19 related restrictions, it is as important as ever to make sure properties and belongings are kept safe.
“Ensuring windows and doors are securely locked, especially if you are in your gardens enjoying the sun, or have gone upstairs even just for a short while, is so important.
“Valuables, including phones and car keys, should also be kept out of sight.
“Opportunist thieves can strike quickly, so these simple steps really can act as a deterrent.”
Enquiries are ongoing in relation to the overnight burglaries and anyone with any information which may assist the investigation is urged to contact police. Please call 101, quoting occurrence 2000141401.
