Distraction Burglaries
11/03/09 07:21 Filed in: Local Area
Leicestershire Constabulary have just informed me
that within the last hour there have been two
distraction burglaries by two males dressed in
Dynarod overalls. The males gained access by saying
that there was a leak and needed to rod the drains.
As one of the burglaries was in Melton and the other in Denton, there may be two different groups using the same MO. In one case a silver saloon was reported to have been involved, whilst in the other incident the car was reported as a dark saloon
Please be very wary of anyone wishing to gain access or cold calling. Do not allow access without being FULLY satisfied with a caller's ID, and make sure your doors and windows are secure. Is your back door locked when you answer your front door?
