Warwickshire Police is appealing for information after a spate of nine separate burglaries in Kenilworth over the past few weeks.

Officers are asking residents with CCTV in or near the streets listed to review their footage around the time of the burglaries.

And with many of the incidents seeing offenders break through the property's back door, Kenilworth Watch is appealing to residents with UPVC type doors to check the type of locks fitted and change them to the 'anti snap' type.

A watch spokesperson said: "Many standard locks do not offer robust protection and can often easily be punched through enabling entry for criminals within 10 seconds."

Burglary Details:

  1. Between 7.20am and 3.30pm on Wednesday 27 July offenders snapped the lock of a rear door of a property at Fishponds Road and entered the premises. Items of jewellery were stolen.
  2. Between 9am on Tuesday 26 July and 10.15am on Wednesday 27 July offenders tried to enter a property at Queens Road by forcing the lock of the rear door. The offenders were unable to gain entry.
