North Yorkshire Police urge residents to check key safe boxes following thefts in Knaresborough
North Yorkshire Police is advising residents who use key safe boxes to check them following a number of thefts across Knaresborough.
The key safe boxes – where you leave a spare key outside your house, often with a combination code - have been stolen from properties on Manor Gardens and Charlton Manor Drive over the past fortnight.
A spokesperson at North Yorkshire Police said: “As part of our investigation, we’re appealing for information from anyone who may have witnessed the incidents, saw someone acting suspiciously, or anyone with any CCTV footage.
“We’re also asking residents to check their properties and any key safe boxes - making sure they have no damage, are secure and they're in full working order.
“If you notice any suspicious activity, please report it immediately.”
