Entry by window
Burglars active in the Belfast area have been removing the. glass from aluminium windows to gain entry to houses. ■ The police were concerned that some types of aluminium joinery allowed the glass to be removed from the outside, “although any window can be broken anyway,” said Detective Sergeant John Lyall, of the Papanui police. Detective Sergeant Lyall said that the property stolen included silver and brassware, videos, stereos, and other household goods. In the most recent burglary, a house in Connemara Drive was entered. The burglars then found a key to the garage and took a car. It was found a short distance away having been used to carry stolen items from the scene, he said.
