Thieves Target Rural Homes: Police Seek Dashcam Footage After East Cornwall Burglaries

Detectives have launched an investigation into a series of burglaries across East Cornwall, with officers appealing for dashcam footage from anyone who travelled along Well Lane between St Cleer and Tramar in Liskeard on Monday 20th October.

Jewellery and Cash Stolen

Police confirmed two burglaries took place in St Cleer on that day. One happened between 7.20am and 2.10pm at a property on Well Lane, and another between 9.30am and 1pm on Trecarne View. In both incidents, jewellery and cash were stolen.

Detective Inspector Claire Nicholls said:

“We believe that both incidents are part of a wider burglary series in the area. Many of the incidents have taken place in Liskeard, but we also have reports of burglaries in Pelynt, Looe, Widegates, Menheniot and Polbathic.

“The incidents have increased in the past few weeks with thieves targeting rural and secluded properties often in the daytime. Many of the incidents result in jewellery and cash being taken.

“We are asking residents to come forward with any information, particularly if they have doorbell camera footage.

“We are also reminding locals to be vigilant about home safety, ensuring homes are secure. Please see further home safety advice here.

“If you have any information, please contact police via the Force website or telephone 101, quoting master crime reference number 50250281114.

“Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online or by calling freephone 0800 555 111.”

Police are urging anyone with dashcam or doorbell footage from the area on 20th October to come forward as part of the investigation.
