Between Friday night and Saturday morning, a house in Ducks Meadow was broken into via the patio doors and made off with the goods without going upstairs.
During the same time period, offenders attempted to gain entry to a property in George Lane by putting their hand through a cat flap and taking a key from inside the door. They did not gain entry to the house.
