London: More incidents of burglars targeting gold and jewellery in houses belonging to British-Asians have come to light, with police issuing guidelines to the community that is known to traditionally preserve family jewellery for generations.
The latest spate of burglaries for gold has been reported in Leicester, which has a large population of Indian origin.
The police say that only items of gold jewellery were stolen during the burglaries in Spinney Hills, Highfields and Evington.
Reports of houses belonging to the Asian community being burgled have prompted the police and local councillors to launch special awareness campaigns in various towns across Britain, such as Birmingham, Slough, Ealing, Reading and Bradford.
Leicester-based police official Alan Cook said: "Asian gold is generally of a higher purity than other gold and is attractive to thieves."
Sergeant Dan Eveleigh, of Spinney Hill Park police station, said: "We are seeing an increasing number of house burglaries in this area and are concerned about the number of occasions when Asian gold jewellery is being stolen."
He added: "As warmer weather arrives, it's very easy to leave doors and windows open in error, and burglars will take every opportunity to steal."
Several jewellery shops owned by Asians have been targeted in Leicester, among other towns across Britain.
The price of gold is currently at a high of 1,100 pounds for an ounce.
Amidst the spate of burglaries, the police have issued specific crime prevention advice that urges members of the community not to keep gold items at home, among other measures.
Steve Smith, of the Thames Valley Police force, said: "Ideally, we would prefer for people not to keep high value gold at home given what we are experiencing, not only in areas of our force but nationally, due to the value of Asian gold and its purity."
The police issued detailed guidelines to the community to prevent crime, including details of safes, insurance, keeping an inventory of jewellery owned, keeping photographs of the items, to use forensic marking to identify jewellery and to register all valuables on a free online Immobilise database.
Some areas in the south of the Thames Valley have particularly suffered from this type of crime in recent months, the police said and added that over 200 offences have been reported to police since April last year in Berkshire.

New Delhi: A 12-year-old boy was shot dead by a drunk Delhi police constable, who opened fire during a marriage ceremony in the capital, police said on Monday.
The incident took place around 11.15 pm on Sunday at Dhaka village in north Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar.
Tarun Chauhan, a class 7th student studying in a government school, received a bullet in his chest when the accused opened celebratory fire at the marriage ceremony.
"He was rushed to Sushruta Trauma Centre in the Civil Lines area where doctors declared him brought dead," said a senior police officer.
The accused, identified as Jai Baba, 35, is deputed as a constable in the Delhi Police crime branch. He has been arrested and a case registered against him.
Manmeet, a cousin of the bride, had invited Baba and Sanjay, a constable deputed in west Delhi's Subhash Place police station, to the ceremony.
The accused had consumed alcohol during the ceremony along with Sanjay and three-four other friends.
"After consuming alcohol, they were on the dance floor where Baba took out his service revolver and fired two shots in the air. He then fired a straight shot. The bullet pierced the victim's chest who was also dancing on the stage," said the official.
The enraged relatives of the victim beat up the accused and handed him over to police, said the official.

Beijing: China is preparing to overhaul a key criminal law amid public confusion - and some dread - over whether the government is about to give police the legal authority to disappear people.
At issue is an amendment to the criminal procedure law that would allow police to secretly detain suspects for months without informing their families. The effect would be to legalize the secret detentions police have increasingly been using against political critics, activist lawyers and other dissidents. Activist Hu Jia, himself living under a form of house arrest, has dubbed it the "KGB clause."
The proposed powers, when first mooted in a draft released last summer, caused uproar among legal scholars, who called them dangerous, and ordinary Chinese, who posted comments online to the government's draft by the tens of thousands.
Now, as the national legislature prepares to pass the revised law during its annual session which starts Monday, it isn't clear whether the proposed changes are still in the bill. New drafts have not been released, as is typical in China. One well-connected scholar claims the clause has been excised out, but others say it's uncertain or won't say.
Chi Shusheng, a lawmaker and lawyer from Heilongjiang province with a reputation for defending human rights, said she last saw the revised law in January.
"I think there's been some progress," Chi said. She wouldn't elaborate.
Members of the National People's Congress legal committee, who advise the drafting of the law, declined to talk.
"Wait until the final version comes out," said Zhou Guangquan, a legal scholar and committee member. "It's not convenient for me to discuss it now." Chinese laws are generally crafted by the central government behind closed doors with little public consultation, though there have been experiments with increased transparency in recent years. The precise reasons for the secrecy aren't entirely clear, but seem borne out of habit and expediency.
Behind the uncertainty is a tug of war between people who think China needs greater legal protections to keep advancing, and the security establishment and politicians who see a strong Communist Party as the best guarantee of the country's continuing success.
Chinese society, poor and egalitarian 30 years ago, has been stratified as decades of economic reforms create droves of millionaires and push up a new middle class while leaving behind others. People increasingly turn to the law to protect their rights and to protest when other methods don't work.
More open Chinese media and the Internet have raised awareness about miscarriages of justice, such as wrongful convictions, and the need for legal safeguards.
"People are increasingly realizing that procedural justice matters," said Joshua Rosenzweig, a human rights researcher based in Hong Kong. "There is also a general sense too that public power, the power of the state, needs to be checked."
The proposed revisions to the criminal procedure law, last amended 15 years ago, attempt to address the changing demands of this remade society. It includes rules on the exclusion of illegally obtained evidence and enshrines the privilege against self-incrimination, both measures meant to better protect detainees, said Flora Sapio, a visiting scholar at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and an expert on Chinese law.
For the most part, though, the overhaul consolidates existing rules and regulations without significantly breaking new ground, Sapio said.
The controversial exception is the expansion of police powers in Article 73 on "residential surveillance," a kind of house arrest without charge. The August draft said police could hold suspects under residential surveillance - at a fixed location outside their home - for up to six months without notifying families in cases involving state security or terrorism or if notification would impede the investigation.
In practice, police have disappeared regime critics, from Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo and his wife to prominent avant-garde artist Ai Weiwei, who disappeared into police custody for nearly three months last year.
Ai's wife Lu Qing, who was distraught over the official silence during her husband's disappearance, has written an open letter to the government saying that codifying the more muscular powers for police would mark a "legal setback for China and deterioration of human rights."
The outcry may have had some effect. One prominent Beijing legal scholar, Chen Guangzhong, said this week that Article 73 has been changed from its August version and now requires that families be notified within 24 hours if a relative is put under residential surveillance in all cases except when the family cannot be reached.
Chen said he has not seen the latest version himself but was informed of the change by a colleague who he declined to identify. Chen was among the more vocal critics of the August draft when it came out.
"Personally speaking, I am relatively satisfied," said the 82-year-old tenured professor at the Chinese University of Political Science and Law in Beijing.

Mumbai: There were some unexpected guests on the sets of Tezz at Filmistan Studios yesterday. A couple of Shiv Sainiks arrived to check on the foreigners who were present for the shoot.
Mallika Sherawat, who is doing an item number Laila in the movie, was shooting when the Shiv Sainiks arrived. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Zayed Khan, Kangna Ranaut and Sameera Reddy.
A unit source said, "They (Shiv Sainiks) said that they would not allow foreigners to shoot for a Hindi movie in Maharashtra."
The source adds, "The production head explained to them that the foreigners were there for a couple of shots that would be wrapped up in just an hour."
But according to an insider, "The production personnel told the Shiv Sainiks that there were no foreigners on the sets. The dancers present were all members of their respective association.
It was just that since the film's story is set in London, we had a couple of foreigners playing cops coming to check the pub for Ajay and Zayed's characters, while Mallika is performing."
Fortunately for the Tezz team, the issue was sorted out by late afternoon. "After we had finished couple of shots featuring the foreigners, they left. And the shoot continued as normally as before," informs the unit source.
Producer Ratan Jain confirmed that some Shiv Sainiks had arrived on the sets. "My people spoke to them and it was sorted out. The shoot is going on and will be wrapped up in three days."

Jaipur: In a case that has sent shockwaves through Rajasthan and made national headlines, police in Jaipur have arrested a paraplegic woman. The 22-year-old girl is charged with abetting the abduction and sexual abuse of another woman.
But the arrested woman was herself allegedly a victim of sexual abuse by policemen in January last year. She was allegedly thrashed and molested by three police men in Jaipur. She then tried to commit suicide; an attempt that left her without the use of both her legs and 80 per cent paralysed.
Women's group say yesterday's arrest is an attempt to save those policemen, who are now in jail. "She has been arrested only to weaken the case against the policemen, demoralize her and break the witnesses in her case. This arrest is really shameful," said Kavita Srivastav, General Secretary of People's Union of Civil Liberties, Rajasthan.
Her mother says she is completely bed ridden and needs constant care. She says the police forced the other victim to name her daughter in the case in an attempt to save their colleagues. "The police has been pressurising us to compromise in this case. They have also been threatening us. In the exploitation of the other girl, my daughter had no role at all.
But the police refute the charges and say the arrest was made on the basis of a complaint. The complainant had alleged that the 22-year-old paraplegic had conspired in her abduction and repeated sexual exploitation by six men last year. "The Court had constituted a Medical Board to examine her condition. The Medical Board found that she is mentally fit though physically disabled. On that basis we questioned her and after that as she is an accused in that case we had to arrest her," said Deputy Commissioner of Jaipur Police, Mahendra Singh.
A lower court has rejected her bail plea. She is being kept in the Sawai Man Singh hospital in Jaipur.
The Rajasthan High court will now decide whether to give her bail. If she's sent to jail, this victim of sexual abuse will face the trauma of staying on the same premises where the policemen who tormented her are already lodged.
