As stated by Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Quested:
Police are reminding residents to secure their property and valuables following a recent increase in burglaries and thefts in western Timaru.
Over the past fortnight Police have noted a sharp rise in reports of burglaries and vehicles being stolen and broken into in the Gleniti and Highfield areas.
There does not appear to be any set pattern to the offending but we have increased patrols in these areas, and are working hard to identify those responsible.
