Detective are investigating two incidents of attempted burglary in Barrow.
Two incidents were reported to police last night (Sept 13) in the Hill Road and Undergreen Road area, of a man disturbed in the garden.
The incidents were between 9:30pm and 10pm.
Officers are appealing for anyone with information or footage of suspicious activity in the area to contact police.
Officers are also encouraging anyone who hasn’t already to register their camera with Connect Cumbria - Home - Connect Cumbria
Speaking on Connect Cumbria Chief Inspector Lee Skelton from Westmorland and Furness BCU said “The Fusus by Axon platform is an effective tool which can quickly and efficiently locate cameras in an area following a crime where we may be able to source crucial evidence to aid our investigations.
“Accessing a map of pre-registered CCTV and doorbell cameras will enable our officers to identify potential evidential opportunities in a matter of seconds.
“Not only will this save valuable time, it will also undoubtedly lead to criminals being held accountable for their actions in a far swifter timeframe.”
In registering a CCTV or doorbell camera, the owner continues to have full ownership of the footage and Cumbria Constabulary does not have access to these cameras. Upon identifying a camera of interest, officers will send a request to the owner for them to review their footage to see if this holds evidence pertinent to the case.
