By Teenage boys arrested following Hull burglary
Two teenage boys have been arrested following a burglary on Lowdale Close, Hull, and another attempted burglary on Kirklands Road, Hull.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday the 7th of April.
It is alleged that two teenage boys tried to enter to the property on Kirklands Road at around 1am this morning, but failed to gain access.
A while later, the boys broke into a house on Lowdale Close, taking keys from inside the property which were then used to steal a car from outside.
Humberside Police were called and officers attended the scene.
Following a search, a 15-year-old boy was arrested nearby, and another 15-year-old boy was arrested later the same morning.
The vehicle has since been recovered, and the teenage boys remain in police custody pending investigation.
Humberside Police have urged the public to take greater care to protect your homes. A spokesperson said:
“As the weather starts to warm up it is important to take steps to protect your home.
We work hard to prevent burglary and bring offenders to justice, however there are things that residents can do to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of burglary. Here are some tips:
– Make sure your doors and windows are closed and locked when you’re not in the room. Nearly half of all burglaries are down to a door or window being open
– Make sure nothing of value (including your car key) is left on show to tempt thieves into your property.
– Think about fitting a burglar alarm and security lighting – both to your home and outbuildings. It may be expensive, but they are very effective deterrents and can bring down your insurance costs.”
