Queenstown police are reminding residents to check their home security after a spate of burglaries in Kelvin Heights last month. Senior Sergeant Paula Enoka, of Queenstown, said five properties were burgled in the Loop Rd area of the suburb on February 15-16. Although the incidents occurred a fortnight ago, police had received complaints only in the past week, as people returned to their properties after being away for a few weeks. Police wanted to hear from homeowners who had items missing or had seen any unusual activity or people in the area, Snr Sgt Enoka said. The burglaries were ``a bit unusual'' for the resort, but were a reminder to be more security conscious.
