There has been an increase in residential burglaries around the Richmond area. The current MO is that they are targetting large properties for their safes and jewellery, which have a high value. They are entering via the back of the properties by smashing the doors. Please be vigilant and aware. If you have wireless ring door bells and CCTV, please make sure they have an SD Card back up inserted as they are used a signal blocker to block the alarm systems and CCTV. Please share this with friends and family within the Petersham area, where a lot of these larger properties are situated.
