Community update: Burglary |

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Burglary, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. A Daventry man has been jailed for two years after he admitted to a string of burglary offences. In April and May this year, Dale Adderley, aged 33, and previously of Daventry, committed a series of offences across several commercial premises including at a pub, a number of takeaway establishments, and a pet shop. On one occasion, he also targeted someone’s home, breaking into the property in Tweed Close, and once inside, stealing money from the occupant’s purse. Adderley was arrested and subsequently charged with burglary and theft. After pleading guilty to the offences at Northampton Crown Court in May, Adderley returned to the same court last month (July 29) where he was sentenced to two years in prison. Burglary is a particularly invasive crime that can have a lasting impact on victims. If you have been a victim and need support and help, you should have been offered victim support services, which in Northamptonshire are provided by Voice for Victims and Witnesses. You may have declined at the time, or not noticed the offer, but can refer yourself at any time by either calling 0300 303 1965 or visiting their website at www.voicenorthants.org.
Burglars do not want to get caught, so taking action to make your home or business premises safe and less attractive to thieves can go a long way to reducing the risk. Not all advice, or security products recommended are the same, or necessarily fit for purpose.
If looking to take positive action to prevent yourself from being a victim of this type of crime, help and advice can be found on the Neighbourhood Watch website.
