Police have released CCTV images after a 'spike' in burglaries involving a group of young teenagers. Greater Manchester Police have reported a spate of burglaries around the Chadderton area in the past week.
The Chadderton, Hollinwood and Garden Suburbs areas have been hit, where the police believe a group of young teenagers are committing burglaries in the early hours of the morning.
The incidents were reported to have been from December 13 to December 20. The force has issued CCTV images of four men they want to speak to as part of their investigations.
Detective Sergeant Matt Ashead of GMP’s Oldham CID said: “We are asking the public to be switched on regarding their personal security. Most of our breaks are from insecure doors, windows and garage doors.
“We are seeing burglars looking for insecurities where they can grab car keys from within the property and make off without confrontation. We are asking the public not to confront burglars and instead report to police using 101 or using gmp.police.uk always call 999 in an emergency.
“It is unacceptable for anybody to feel unsafe in their own home, which is why tackling burglary remains one of Greater Manchester Police's top priorities.”
Anyone with information or CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage, specifically around the times of 3am and 6am, or can identify the men in the image can contact officers on 0161 856 4521 or report via LiveChat facility on gmp.police.uk.
