Burglary
A hot topic in the national news recently centres on the issue of how far we can go in the UK, to protect our home and those we care about. At the end of last month, millionaire businessman Munir Hussain managed to have a custodial sentence overturned and walked away with a suspended sentence after having beaten up an intruder who had not only burgled him, but also tied him and his family up and threatened to kill them.
Home-owners are being asked to step up security on their sheds and garages following a number of break-ins in recent days. Officers are now investigating a number of incidents at various locations across the city. A number of sheds have been broken into in the Fenton area, and power tools stolen. Offenders have also broken into a number of garden sheds in the Bucknall area, stealing various items from within.
