A home in Read fell victim to a burglary while the owners were away for the weekend. The incident took place at a property on Berkeley Drive. Authorities are currently investigating the matter and trying to determine what exactly occurred.
In light of this incident, the police have issued a warning to the public, urging them to ensure the security of their own homes, particularly when going away on trips. A police spokesperson emphasized the importance of taking precautions, stating, “While Read is generally a low crime area, it’s crucial to consider the security of your property. Are there any secluded entrances that could provide an opportunity for offenders to gain access? Do you have security lighting, CCTV, or an alarm system in place? When you’re away, do you inform trusted neighbors, use timers for lights, or allow others to use your driveway?”
