I talked to the police about the rise in burglaries in the last month or so and they are saying that there is a rise but that this is seasonal.  Overall burglaries are down year on year.

Any way here’s details of a burglary in Belstead Road:

Between 3.30pm and 5.30pm Friday 15th October entry was forced to a house in Belstead Road, near to Philip Road in Ipswich.  A search was made of a several rooms and a number of items stolen including a brown Timberland backpack, a metallic red Sony Vaio laptop, two leather bound antique writing boxes and a tortoise shaped brooch with green gems.

Were you in the area between these times, did you notice any unusual activity? Do you know where any of the stolen items are now? If you can help please contact Ipswich police on 01473 613500 reference IW/10/4580
