Crime alert: Thieves pick the easy option of unlocked door/windows
Police from the Inner West Patrol Group are advising residents that thieves have within the recent week, targeted homes and vehicles in Inner West areas.
Suburbs targeted include: Arana Hills, Ashgrove, Cedar Creek, Everton Hills, Evorton Park, Ferny Hills, Gaythorne, Highvale, Keperra, Mitchelton, The Gap and Upper Kedron.
Thieves are mainly stealing car keys and then vehicles, laptops, wallets, handbags and jewellery.
The main method that thieves are using to gain entry is by climbing through windows or walking through unlocked doors (including garage doors). These methods at times are occurring while the residents are home, which are called “sneak breaks”.
Police have increased patrols in your area and residents are encouraged to be vigilant, secure their homes and vehicles, record details of electronic equipment and photograph valuable items such as jewellery.
Below are some basic measures that can often be the most effective, such as securing doors and windows, even when at home:

Internal and external support and referral service options for LGBTI clients.
While the training benefits all QPS members it has a particular focus for general duties officers, station client service officers and watch house staff who often engage with LGBTI persons during sensitive and vulnerable situations.
The QPS is committed to ensuring that, as

The offenders are also stealing bicycles and other attractive items located within garage storage areas.
Police are urging residents to reassess their garage security, by utilising the following tips:
