Police warn against leaving windows open overnight after increase in burglaries in Sheffield suburb
PSCO Spenceley, who works across Stannington, said there had been an increase in burglaries where the burglar or burglars are entering properties through ‘insecure windows’.
He said: “It is understandable that windows will be open due to the increase in temperature, however, this is a perfect opportunity for a burglar to get into your property, especially when you are asleep.”
