West Mercia Police have issued a warning following reports of a suspicious incident at a property in Hereford.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said:
“At approximately 03:05 hrs on 25/07/2025, an unknown individual entered the garden of a property on Canon Pyon Road, just north of Roman Road, Hereford.
“The reason for entering the garden is currently unknown, and no items appear to have been taken.
“This serves as a good reminder for everyone to make sure they have good security measures in place. Be vigilant and keep an eye out for any unusual activity in your area.
HOME SECURITY ADVICE:
– Secure doors and windows: Ensure all external doors in your home and outbuildings have sturdy locks, and windows are closed and locked when you’re not at home.
– Install lighting: Outdoor motion-sensor lighting can act as a deterrent.
– Keep valuables out of sight: Avoid leaving items such as jewellery, electronics and expensive tools visible from windows.
– Mark your property: Use a UV pen or other property marking systems to make stolen items easier to trace.
– Consider installing CCTV – A visible camera system can deter criminals and provide evidence if needed. Even a dummy camera can act as a deterrent.
– Be a good neighbour: Keep an eye on each other’s properties and report anything unusual.
