Beware and report chalked symbols on or around your property - Linked to burglaries




Several suspicious incidents have been reported in Warwickshire, over recent days, where home owners have noticed symbols chalked onto the walls of their homes or onto surfaces nearby.

There is evidence that these chalked symbols are used by thieves as a means to identify a property ripe for burglary.

Please see the attached document which details some of the symbols used.

If you spot chalked symbols around your own or other homes please contact Police immediately on 101 and describe the symbols to the operator.  If possible please also take a photo of the symbol if you have a camera on your mobile phone.

Thankyou for your vigilance and your help.

Best regards
Julie
