There is no clear point of entry. the properties were occupied at the time. Property taken included, wallet, mobile phone, keys and a widescreen television.

These breaks have highlighted a potential method of entry. Modern UPVC doors, that you can lock from the inside by lifting the handle, are vulnerable to being opened by reaching through the letter box, and pulling down the handle using some kind of instrument. If you have this kind of door, do not rely on just lifting the handle, dead lock it too using the key, and then remove the key out of reach.

If you saw or heard anything suspicious, please call the police on 08458 505505, and quote URN 988, and URN 338 of 12/2/06 refer.
