Balaclava Clad Thieves Target Cheltenham Homes in Crime Spree

Hey, listen to this! Masks hid three people while they robbed garages. Hooded tops covered their heads in Cheltenham. The break-ins happened in Pittville on February 11th. There were four burglaries, and the gang fled.

Three robberies hit East Approach Drive. One more occurred on Broad Acre Road. They stole five bikes from different spots. Other items were tossed nearby.

CCTV caught them near Pittville Park. The trio wore balaclavas and hoods. They broke locks at every place. The group might have used a crowbar.

Cops think Cheltenham thefts connect. But, they aren’t Cotswolds related thefts, right? Gloucestershire Police asked door to door. They want witnesses to speak up with report 51.

Report suspicious activity. Police want people to stay alert. They should watch for slow-driving vehicles. These vehicles could be scoping properties.

Secure your home. Use a combination of security tools. Secure back gates to block them. Make your home as safe as possible!

Use “WIDE” security. “WIDE” means window locks are set. Turn on timer lights indoors. Deadbolts lock double doors well. External lights use a sensor.
