POLICE have appealed for suspicious behaviour near building sites to be reported to reduce thefts.
Police crime prevention co-ordinator for the Bayside Patrol Sergeant Chris Hebblethwaite said theft from construction sites was a common occurrence and could add significant costs to the price of a new home or building.
“Offences will often occur in neighbouring streets too as offenders take the opportunity to look for that nearby unlocked car or house,” Sergeant Hebblethwaite said.
Report non-urgent matters to Policelink on 131 444.
Report crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
