Warning after Peterborough burglar steals wallet through open window

Cambridgeshire Police said residents should close windows when leaving rooms – or at night.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Earlier this week, we received a report of a man stealing a wallet through an open window in Peterborough.

“An investigation has been launched.

“With the warmer weather, windows are more likely to be left open - making homes easier targets for opportunistic theft.

“Please remember to close and secure your windows, especially when leaving a room or going to bed.”
