PLEASE BE VIGILANT - Attempted break in property in Monastery area

Please be vigilant when you leave or arrive back at your house.

One evening last week, at a property in the Monastery area, the gentleman of the house left to go to the gym, leaving his wife and children in the house.

It is thought that someone must have been watching the house, as shortly afterwards someone attempted to gain entry to the property, not realising that the lady of the house and her children were still at home.   The burglar ran off without gaining access to the property.

It is worth ensuring that all entry/exit points are locked whenever possible even if you are still inside the property.   In addition, when you leave your property keep an eye out for any person or vehicle
that appears out of place.  If in doubt, take a note of a registration number and make, model and colour of the vehicle.

If possible, take a photo of the suspicious person or vehicle with your mobile phone and if you have serious concerns, please phone the Police.
