Wiltshire Police are warning the public after an increase in burglaries in North Swindon, mainly in the Abbey Meads, St Andrews Ridge and Greenmeadow areas.
Police say there are simple measures you can put in place to reduce the chance of becoming a victim of burglary, including closing and locking all doors and windows when you go out, and keeping keeping valuables and keys out of view and out of reach of windows and doors.
