A spokesman said: “The burglaries have occurred overnight, most occurring in the early hours of the morning.
“Please can we ensure that properties are secured overnight and doors locked with keys removed from the door.
“If you have any questions regarding security please don’t hesitate to private to call 101 for advice.”
Nottinghamshire Police are being reminded to review their home security measures by taking the following precautions:
- Close and lock all doors and windows even if you are only going out for a few minutes.
- Leave a light on if it will be dark before you get home. Consider security lights. To a burglar, a dark house is an empty house.
- Keep your valuables out of sight.
- Don’t leave car keys near your door, letterbox or windows.
- Always check who is at the door. Not sure? Don’t open the door.
- Set your alarm when going out. If you do not have an alarm, consider installing one.
- Always keep sheds and outbuildings locked and secure ladders.
