Police Appeal For Doorbell Footage After Burglary On Conyers Avenue In Barrow
Police are appealing for witnesses and footage after items were stolen during a burglary at a property on Conyers Avenue in Barrow.
The incident happened between 9pm and 9.40pm on Saturday, 10 October, prompting an investigation by Cumbria Constabulary. Officers are seeking information from residents, motorists and anyone else who may have been in the surrounding area during the 40-minute period. The investigation is focused on establishing the circumstances of the burglary and identifying any evidence that could assist officers with their enquiries.
Police are particularly keen to speak to anyone who witnessed unusual or suspicious activity around Conyers Avenue during the relevant period. Residents who noticed unfamiliar individuals, unexpected movements or anything that appeared out of place may have information that could be useful to investigators. Even details that might initially seem insignificant could help officers establish a clearer picture of events before, during or after the burglary.
Officers have also issued a specific appeal for CCTV recordings, dashcam footage and doorbell camera footage that may capture activity connected with the incident. Video recordings from properties and vehicles in the surrounding streets could potentially provide evidence relevant to the investigation. Police are encouraging anyone with available footage from the evening to review their recordings and consider whether they contain anything that could help establish what happened.
Doorbell cameras and residential CCTV systems may have recorded movement near the property during the period when the burglary occurred. Police are asking local residents to check any available recordings covering the time between 9pm and 9.40pm on 10 October. Footage showing activity shortly before or after that period may also be relevant if it captures something connected to the incident or provides useful information about movements in the area.
Motorists who travelled through the surrounding streets during the evening are also being encouraged to consider whether their dashcams recorded anything that could assist the investigation. Vehicle cameras can capture activity along roads and near properties as drivers pass through an area. Anyone who believes their recording may contain relevant information is encouraged to preserve the footage and share it with police rather than dismissing it without checking its contents.
The appeal comes as officers continue their enquiries into the theft of items from the property. Although the specific items taken have not been detailed in the information released, police are asking anyone with relevant knowledge to come forward. Information from members of the public may help investigators establish additional details surrounding the incident and determine whether any available recordings contain evidence that could support their work.
Residents living near Conyers Avenue may also wish to check their home security systems for recordings saved automatically during the evening. Some systems retain footage for a limited period before older recordings are overwritten, making it important for anyone who identifies potentially relevant material to keep it available. Police have not specified which particular cameras or recordings they believe may have captured the incident, so the appeal extends to anyone with information that could assist.
Anyone who saw suspicious behaviour in the area is encouraged to contact Cumbria Constabulary, even if they do not have video evidence. Witness information can provide investigators with details that may help clarify the sequence of events or identify further lines of enquiry. Police are asking members of the public to report what they witnessed or what their recordings show, allowing officers to assess whether the information is relevant to the burglary investigation.
People with information can contact police by calling 101 or by submitting a report through the force's official website at cumbria.police.uk/report-it. Anyone contacting the force should quote incident number 36 of 13 October 2026. Providing this reference will help ensure that information is directed to the investigation concerning the burglary on Conyers Avenue.
Those who wish to provide information anonymously can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. The service allows people to share information without giving their identity to police. This option is available to anyone who believes they may have information relevant to the incident but would prefer not to provide their personal details when making a report.
Police continue to appeal to the public for assistance as enquiries into the Barrow burglary progress. Witness accounts and recordings from doorbell cameras, CCTV systems and vehicle dashcams may help investigators establish what happened during the period in question. Anyone who was in the area on Saturday evening, 10 October, and noticed anything suspicious is being encouraged to come forward with information that could assist officers.
