Burglar Targets Town Centre Businesses

There has been another burglary at a Market Harborough business and attempted break-ins at others.

Cash was stolen from the premises in Church Square and attempts made to get into three shops and businesses in High Street and Manor Walk between 8pm on Monday and 9am yesterday.

Police are linking all of the incidents and are appealing for information.

Sgt Gurpreet Mulley from Harborough neighbourhood team, said: “Officers have been providing extra patrols in the area and would like to reassure those business owners affected that these reports are being actively investigated.

“I would like to ask anyone who have been in the area and may have witnessed anything related to these offences to get in touch. Did you see anyone in the area acting suspiciously? Did you notice something which may be connected to these offences? If so, please call us.

“I would also like to ask businesses in the local area to review their CCTV to see if they have captured anything related to these reports or ultimately may have been targeted themselves and haven’t as yet reported it to police.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact PC 4234 Ian Kilpatrick on 101.
