Another burglary reported at Swindon Hindu temple
Officers investigating a series of burglaries at the Hindu temple in Swindon have released CCTV images as part of their investigation.
The latest incident occurred on October 31 between 7.20pm and 9pm.
The temple, which is located in Darby Close in Cheney Manor Industrial Estate, was targeted by offenders who caused damage by cutting padlocks and forcing shutters up at the building.
The building has been targeted a number of times in recent weeks - the most recent theft has seen offenders remove cabling and pipework for scrap metal.
Det Con Helen Carrick, of Swindon CID, said: “This incident is the latest in a series of burglaries at the location in recent months. We believe the building is now being targeted by offenders attempting to steal scrap metal.
“Local officers have increased visibility patrols in the area and as part of our enquiries we now have some CCTV images of people we would like to speak to in connection with the investigation.
“The temple is located near to a number of residential addresses and we’d urge anyone in the area who may see or hear any suspicious activity to contact us immediately and give as many details as possible, including the registration numbers of any unfamiliar vehicles in the area.”
