PCSO Dawn Ayres said: ‘There have been some house burglaries in the Gosport area which have involved the use of a small window and reached in to open a larger window.

‘They have taken this opportunity while people have been out of the property or in the back garden.

‘We would ask that people are vigilant and have windows kept on the latch or even closed when leaving the property.

‘The burglaries have been committed in the day and the night.

‘If you see anyone acting suspiciously please call the police immediately.’

Call police on 101 or 999 in an emergency.
