On May 30, Mark Newcombe, 33, of Crispin Street, St Helens, was charged with burglary following a report of items being stolen from the communal area of flats in Hardshaw Street, St Helens. Detective Inspector Kevin O’Rourke from Merseyside Police's burglary team, Operation Castle, said: “Whilst we are relentless in the pursuit of offenders and we welcome charges being brought, we know that many burglaries are preventable because offenders are often opportunistic. At this time of year, we see signs that criminals are taking advantage of the warmer weather so we are urging the public to take some simple measures that will make life difficult for potential burglars.
“Don’t advertise your things to criminals – keep laptops and other valuables out of sight and remember to register your electronics and back up any work saved on them.
