Working With Police & Residents After Local Break-Ins

Recently we were called out to help a local business in North Wales after a break-in – the same incident covered by the Daily Post. It's exactly the kind of situation where we work alongside police and residents to get properties secured quickly.

What We Do When the Worst Happens

Over the years, we've built strong relationships with local police and residents across Wrexham, Chester, and Shrewsbury. When someone's been broken into, the police do their job investigating – and we do ours making the property secure again.

It's not glamorous work. It's often late at night, dealing with someone who's shaken and just wants to feel safe in their own home or business again. That's where we come in.

Our burglary repair service isn't just about fixing a broken door. It's about:

• Fast response – we aim to be there within the hour, day or night
• Boarding up – making the property secure immediately so you can rest
• Proper repairs – replacing locks and reinforcing entry points
• Honest advice – telling you what actually needs doing, not upselling

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

This incident, also reported by Yahoo News, is a stark reminder of how vulnerable standard locks can be. Most burglars aren't master criminals – they're opportunists using basic tools to snap euro cylinders in seconds.

That's why we're always banging on about anti-snap locks. A £80-120 upgrade can be the difference between a burglar getting in and giving up. It's the single best security investment for most homes and businesses with UPVC doors.

A Few Things We've Learned

After years of working with residents who've been burgled, here's what we always tell people:

1. Don't touch anything until the police have been – they need to gather evidence
2. Take photos of any damage for your insurance claim
3. Call us once the police give the go-ahead – we'll make it secure
4. Consider upgrading your locks afterwards – insurance often covers this

We're not trying to scare anyone. But break-ins do happen, and when they do, it helps to know there's a local locksmith who'll turn up quickly, do the job properly, and not take advantage of a bad situation.
