Police are investigating a number of related break and enter offences which have recently occurred in the Inner West Police Districts.
These offences have occurred in newly constructed homes, and thieves are targeting white-goods, air conditioning units, hot water systems, timber, tiles, electrical and plumbing supplied, landscaping and trade tools.
Police are urging tradies to make sure their construction sites, vehicles and tools are secure by following some of these simple steps:
§ Identify your site – this promotes your business and displays a contact number for afterhours enquiries.
§ Coordinate deliveries – have goods delivered in the morning and installed on the same day to make them secure and difficult to remove.
§ Keep your site tidy – remove any packaging for high risk items such as white goods.
§ Secure and mark all property – have a secure fenced-area or lockable container to store items, mark tools and high risk items, and leave machinery
