ACT Policing are once again urging Canberra residents to review their home security measures, following a recent spike in burglaries in and around the inner-north suburbs of Braddon and Ainslie. Today (18 February 2010) police released a face-fit image of a male suspect responsible for a burglary in Lyneham on 8 February 2010. Between 7.30-9.30pm, the male offender gained entry to a property on Deburgh Street, and stole an Apple notebook computer, jewellery and some cash.
The Janurary 2010 edition of the Hackett Neighbourhood Watch newsletter is now available online and residents of the suburb of Hackett will have already have received a copy of this publication in their letterboxes.
ACT Policing has issued a reminder to cyclists that wearing a helmet is compulsory and could potentially save your life after a serious collision between a car and a cyclist in Braddon on Monday morning (February 8).
ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to two aggravated robberies which occurred in the inner north of Canberra yesterday (February 7).

Today the Standing Committee on Planning, Public Works and Territory and Municipal Services released a Discussion Paper on existing residential redevelopment policies in inner north Canberra. The Discussion Paper aims to inform submissions to the Committee’s current inquiry into RZ3 (Urban) and RZ4 (Medium Density) residential redevelopment policies. Discussion Paper is available at (and reproduced at the bottom of this article): http://www.parliament.act.gov.au/committees/index1.asp?committee=113&inquiry=823&category=19 The Committee invites interested parties to make a submission on any of the issues raised in the discussion paper or any other issue they consider relevant to the terms of reference of this inquiry.
Two people will face court today (Tuesday, February 2) after they were arrested by ACT Policing following an incident early yesterday (Monday, February 1) in which the glass window of a Civic clothing store was smashed and items stolen.
Police are again reminding Canberra residents of the need to properly secure their homes and property, particularly at night, following rising rates of property crime in and around the suburbs of Narrabundah, Griffith and Kingston. These crimes include burglaries, attempted stolen motor vehicles and property theft, and are often opportunistic in nature, with offenders choosing targets with the least amount of security or the lowest chance of being detected. Superintendent Kate Buggy from ACTP’s Crime Prevention Team today urged the community to apply simple household security practices to reduce their chances of being targeted.
