Yesterday morning, 18 May, officers responded to a report at a residence on Calabash Drive in Bodden Town during which house keys were left in a vehicle parked outside and used to gain access to the house.  After using the house keys to enter the house and taking contents of a handbag, including a mobile phone and wallet, a second vehicle was stolen from the property and later found abandoned at a nearby location.  The incident appears to have occurred sometimeWednesday night and was discovered by the residents yesterday morning.

“We ask that residents take care to secure their house keys and car keys in their residence, and refrain from leaving any keys or valuables in their vehicles.  Burglars are clearly taking advantage of those who leave their keys in any accessible place,” said Detective Superintendent Pete Lansdown, “we have sent reinforcements to Bodden Town to address the burglary situation, including a team of detectives, and are conducting proactive patrols at night.  Anyone who sees any suspicious activity in their area should call the Bodden Town Police Station right away.”
