Melton & Nether Broughton: distraction burglaries

This morning, within the last three hours, two distraction burglaries have occurred in the area: one in Melton and one in Nether Broughton.

At the Melton incident, three males – possibly E. European – in a white Sherpa-type van, worked an area by knocking on doors and asking for scrap. Distraction methods were used to gain entry to the properties and thefts occurred.

If anyone has any relevant information about these incidents, please call Leicestershire Constabulary on 0116 222 2222.

Please remain vigilant for this type of criminal behaviour, alert your friends and neighbours, and immediately report all suspicious vehicles and behaviour to the police.
