The burglaries are occurring where unknown offenders are approaching the rear of houses and forcing the rear doors/windows to gain entry. Houses need to have good security all around the houses and also things like outdoor security lights can be a good deterrent as it attracts attention to the house when it goes off. Also please keep valuables and car keys out of sight.
Also as I know that you are already aware of this but please contact the Police with any suspicious incidents that you may see.
Also please see the below appeal that is currently on the Cheshire Police Website:
