Detectives are investigating three burglaries in Westcliff which, at this stage, are being treated as linked.
The incidents took place in Hobleythick Lane, Colemans Avenue and Dulverton Avenue.
Each of the incidents were reported to us on Wednesday 15 November and took place from about 6.25pm onwards.
During the incident in Colemans Avenue, car keys were taken. In Dulverton Avenue, cash was taken and whilst entry was clearly attempted in Hobleythick Lane, we do not believe anything was taken.
At this stage, we believe one suspect is connected to each of the incidents and we’re working quickly to identify that person.
'Determined to bring perpetrators to justice'
Detective Inspector Marcus Dodd said:
“At this stage, we are treating each of these incidents as linked and we’re working quickly to identify the person responsible.
“Burglary is among the most violating of crimes and we are determined to bring perpetrators to justice.
“I would also urge residents to remain vigilant and consider any appropriate security measures for their homes, especially as we enter the pre-Christmas period.”
