Police are investigating two attempted burglaries in Barrow last night.
Cumbria Constabulary said a man was disturbed in two gardens between 9.30pm and 10pm last night, September 13, in the Hill Road and Undergreen Road area.
Officers are appealing for anyone with information or footage of suspicious activity in the area to contact police.
Police have urged people to register their doorbell cameras with them, to help them fight crime.
Chief Inspector Lee Skelton, of Westmorland and Furness BCU, said: “The 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 the 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.
