The police are warning residents to ensure their houses and valuables are secure.
North Yorkshire Police has offered advice to improve home safety:
- Keep all valuables, including car keys, out of sight and away from windows or letterboxes.
- Look at windows and their access points. Be aware of nearby bins and furniture that could be used to reach windows.
- Make sure there is a clear view at the front of your property. Burglars don’t want to be seen or heard and if they’re likely to be spotted they may move on.
