Between 10.45 and 11.15 am, a handbag containing a Blackberry mobile phone was stolen from a motor vehicle parked in the Lathkill Street area of Market Harborough.  

There was a burglary in the Bath Street Area on Thursday 29th September between midnight and 7pm, entry was gained via a rear door and a netbook computer was stolen.  

On Friday 30th September a motor vehicle which had been left secure and  had been parked in the Logan Street area was stolen.

Open windows and insecure doors offer an invite to any potential thief to enter the home and steal the valuables inside.  PC Steve Day, the County Crime reduction officer, said: “We want everyone across the county to be able to make the most of this last spurt of warm weather but hope that they will listen to this warning and keep their homes secure.

“Keeping windows and doors open when the house is empty or when the occupants are sleeping is a risk and can result in your home being a target.  I would advise that everyone does a quick check of their homes before going out or going to bed just to make sure the house is secure. Don’t make your home an easy option to burglars.''
