IMPORTANT UPDATE - RECENT BURGLARIES

We have had 5 more incidents in June involving South Asian victims. These were spread across Bristol and I would like to bring the below to your attention.

At several offences there have been reports of males knocking on doors of homes in the days and weeks leading up to that home being burgled. These males are often reported to be enquiring whether occupants want household/garden work done. However, it could be that they are ascertaining who lives in the house or whether the house is occupied. These males have been described as being white and with Irish accents. We would encourage anyone who has received such a visit to contact the police to report it.

These types of burglaries are happening all over the country with Birmingham being hit particularly hard. All the burglaries in Bristol are still under active investigation by a team of detectives. Please continue to encourage people to report any suspicious activity.


Warmest regards
