Jewel Thieves

Saturday, 14 December 2013 at 07:16

Rash of Break and Enters in Zorra has resulted in $20,000 of jewellery stolen

Locals are being reminded to lock their doors after a series of break and enters in the area. 
 
Oxford OPP say they have responded to several reported break and enters in the areas of 15th Line, 41st Line, and Road #66 in Zorra, since the end of October 2013.
 
The suspects gained entry into the homes and the main target items were jewellery. 
 
The approximate value of all the jewellery stolen is $20,000.00.
 
As a precaution OPP have released the following tips to ensure you're protected:
 
  • Secure your vehicle & remove your valuables from your vehicle at all times.
  • Target harden your home, garage and sheds by locking your doors with a quality lock set. For added security, consider installing a dead bolt locking system.
  • Motion activated lighting will deter a potential thief and help alert possible witnesses.
  • Be careful from obscuring sightlines from windows and doors with too much landscaping. Excessive landscaping can give a criminal the opportunity to move about your property without being noticed.
  • Photograph your valuables, record the serial number and consider engraving a unique identifier. Positively identifying your property will help police hold a thief accountable.
  • Make sure your home always looks lived in (e.g. newspapers/flyers picked up, snow shovelled, timed lighting systems etc.)
  • Get to know your neighbours and encourage them to keep an eye out for suspicious activity around your property.
  • If you have a security system, use it. Ensure that your contact list is current and up to date.
  • Be a good neighbour and remember if you see something suspicious report it to police!
