Watch out, there's a sneaky burglar down our street...

A cheeky burglar has robbed one of my neighbours right here on Church Street, DSJ...

The thief walked in through an unlocked backdoor last Friday lunchtime while the victim was at home and helped him - or her - self to a purse containing about £40 from a bag which was on a chair near the unlocked door.

Police are advising people to keep doors locked even when you're at home and keep your valuables out of sight.

Anyone with any information should call Stamford Police on 01780 752222, quoting the relevant incident number 193 of January 30. Or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
