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!
