In all cases, the offenders gain entry to the properties through insecure conservatory windows and doors.

The latest incident happened at a house in Radcliffe Road overnight on Tuesday. Cash and a wallet containing bank cards were taken.

On Sunday night a property in Foundry Road was broken into, but nothing was taken and on Thursday of last week, a handbag was stolen from a house in Little Casterton Road.

A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: “Please make sure your homes are correctly locked-up and don’t leave valuables on show.”

Anyone with any information on the burglaries should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
