Newport Burglaries Prompt Police Witness Appeal

Expensive items including a PlayStation and an iPad have been stolen from properties in Newport.

Police are urging people to lock their doors, and report any walk-in burglaries.

Hampshire Constabulary is appealing for witnesses after two burglaries at properties in the town centre.

Officers believe the offender entered the homes through an unlocked door during the night of February 19 and 22.

A spokesperson for the force said:

"Have you come across a discarded wallet ? Has anyone offered you a PlayStation or an IPad ? Do you believe you know someone who has bought these items ? We have also recovered some foreign currency we believe has been stolen and not yet reported. If you live in the vicinity of the town centre and think you might have been the victim of a walk in burglary in recent days but have not called us we urge you to do so."

"If you live in the vicinity of Trafalgar Road, Castle St, Melbourne St, Clifford St, The Mall, Drill Hall Road, Collingwood Rd, East View, West View, New St, West St and have any external cctv or a ring door bell please let us know."

If you have any information, you're urged to call police on 101 quoting crime reference number 44210066192.
