Burglary appeal: Can you help - The Limes, Kempsey

Dear Resident

We are appealing to Kempsey community for information following a burglary at a home on The Limes, Kempsey.

The burglary took place at 01:05 hrs on Monday 19th October 2026 when the homeowner has seen torchlights coming from downstairs in their home so has shouted and disturbed them and they made off from the property. Offenders had gained access by removing the lock in patio door and opening it and drawers in the kitchen and the microwave were all open. Nothing has been stolen but it is believed they were looking to steal the car.

Did you see anything suspicious or have any information that might help enquires?

Please get in touch with us by calling 101 and quoting crime number: 22/102019/26

If you aren’t comfortable contacting us directly, you can pass on information anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website: www.crimestoppers-uk.org

Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime.

🔐 Crime Prevention Advice (RBCT Recommended)

Residents are urged to take the following steps:

Keep vehicle keys well away from doors, windows, and letterboxes

Store keys in a signal-blocking Faraday pouch to prevent relay theft

Ensure all external doors and windows are securely locked, even when at home

Use intruder alarms, particularly night-time settings

Consider motion-activated lighting at the front and rear of your property

If possible, park vehicles in a locked garage

Where keyless entry vehicles are used, contact your dealer about disabling keyless entry when not required

Avoid leaving spare keys in obvious or predictable locations

The RBCT also advises residents to work together as a community:

Speak to neighbours about keeping valuables secure

Report unfamiliar vehicles or people seen acting suspiciously, particularly during late evening or early morning hours

👀 Suspicious Activity

If you see anything suspicious or believe someone is attempting to gain access to properties or vehicles:

Call 999 if a crime is in progress

Report non-emergency incidents via 101 or www.police.uk

CCTV, doorbell, and dash‑cam footage can be extremely valuable to enquiries
