Hide AdHampshire Constabulary has highlighted Devonshire Avenue, Tennyson Road, Talbot Road, and Duncan Road as high-priority targets for burglars.
Detective Sergeant Martin Longyear said: ‘It is tempting during warmer weather to leave windows and doors open to increase airflow, but if you’re not at home, or in a different part of the property, this could give an opportunistic thief a chance to steal your valuables.
‘Please don’t give them the chance. Putting valuables out of sight, locking doors, and securing windows could prevent this from happening.’
