Burglars have targeted villages near Cambridge in a festive season raid spree.
Police are appealing for information after thieves struck in Great Shelford, Great Abington, Little Abington and Thriplow and warning residents to make sure their homes are secure.
Officers are investigation a burglary in Cambridge Road, Great Shelford which happened on Monday, December 29, during daylight hours. The criminals have smashed the rear patio door glass and entered the property. One inside they ransacked the home but nothing has been reported stolen.
And a burglary was reported after a home in High Street, Great Abington was targeted on Saturday, December 27 at about 8pm. Offenders have used garden equipment from the location to force open a rear ground floor window. Once inside the property the suspects have gone to the main bedroom and conducted an untidy search. The offenders were disturbed by the occupants.
There was another burglary in the same street at about the same time when thieves have gained entry to the property by forcing open the rear patio doors from the garden to the kitchen.
Police said this appears to have been done by forcing a tool into the wooden frame and damaging the locks. Once inside the thieves ransacked the home and made off with items of jewellery.
And an attempted burglary was reported after a home was targeted in Ivan Clarks Corner, Little Abington. The incident occurred between Monday, December 22 and Tuesday, December 23 . Offenders have attempted to force open a UPVC double glazed side door with a blunt instrument.
And criminal damage was reported after an attempted raid in Gravel Pit Hill, Thriplow. This occurred between Sunday, December 28 at 4pm and 9am the following day. The offenders have cut through a section of the wire chain link fencing at the rear of the site. But they failed to get into any of the buildings or storage containers.
A Cambridgeshire force spokesman said: "If you have any information on the above crimes, please contact the Police by calling 101. As always please remain vigilant and report suspicious activity, again by calling 101, or 999 if something is happening at the time."

Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar is coming to Houma next summer.
The Baton Rouge-based chain will begin construction on its newest sports bar in the 1800 block of Martin Luther King Boulevard in the first or second week of January, said Brandon Landry, founder and CEO of Walk-On's Enterprises.
Landry said he's been looking to expand to Houma for a couple of years now.
We like the market. It's definitely growing. The demographics and type of culture there fits us. We're in Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Lafayette. Houma really reminds us of Lafayette, Landry said.
The restaurant, which will cost about $3.5 million, will seat 250-270 people, he said.
We'd like to get it up in July, before school and football and everything else starts, but that'll be cutting it close, he said.
Landry said he wants this location to be the prototype moving forward.
It's going to be a really nice place with beautiful interior and exterior. It's going to have more than enough parking and a beautiful view, he said.
The exterior will combine both rustic and stadium-like aesthetics. There will be exposed draft beer lines throughout the building, and the draft cooler will have glass paneling for a more behind-the-scenes experience. There will be more than 70 televisions throughout the main dining and bar areas and on the patio. The draft beer system will supply 65-75 types of beer.
To any househunters out there who are currently hunting for houses, here's a little secret that you may not know: real estate agents do not always tell the truth when they're selling you a house. I know it's a bit of a shock, but it had to be said, so there, I've said it.
When we bought our house, we'd been told it was an "Entertainer's Paradise" because it had a patio, a pergola and a back door to get in and out. And we believed what the real estate agent said, we fell for it: our minds swam with happy images of the Paradise of Entertaining we would soon be enjoying all the balmy summer evenings we would share with good friends, laughing and partying under a silk-lined marquee, enjoying pricey wines and fancy foods that our good friends brought themselves.
But we got dudded, we were deceived, the house turned out to be an Entertainer's Paradise Lost. There were no big glamorous Yalumba-ad parties, no wild all-night shindigs, no fancy feasts presented on rustic cutting boards not even a photo-spread of a quince-glazed duck torn from a Donna Hay magazine. And I blamed the real estate agent: clearly he lied and this house was not entertainment-paradisey enough. So we called in a tradie to knock out the back door and replace it with big bi-fold accordion-doors to "enhance our entertainment needs". These were huge doors, wide enough for a whole chorus-line of friends to step through at the same time, during one of our Sondheim Showtunes Sing-a-Long Sundays, which we planned to run bi-monthly, alternating with our Flamenco 'n' Fajitas Fiesta Fridays.
But the tradie conned us too: our bi-folding fantasies never unfolded. No singing of selections from Into the Woods, no flamenco hand-clapping speed-battles, no dining on deep-pan paellas which we would pronounce "pa-ee-ya" to impress members of the Gypsy Kings who we'd flown in for the weekend. Clearly it was the house again: this was an Entertainer's Paradox.
Advertisement
So now we've got a house with big bi-folding back-doors, and each day of summer we fling open those doors and the only guests who come to visit are small, fast and exoskeletal. Our house has become THE Entertainer's Paradise for every blowfly, moth, mosquito and face-flying Christmas beetle in the bayside and south-eastern suburbs occasionally the outer-east if they manage to catch the 6.25pm light-breeze from Wantirna.
Day and night, flies party hard in our kitchen, laying eggs in the fruitbowl and vomiting in the watermelon dregs. Moths go clubbing in the living room, flapping under lightbulbs, the uglier ones hanging around the curtains, hoping to get lucky on the way home. Mosquitoes queue in the hallway, preparing themselves for the Midnight All-You-Can-Eat Ankle 'n' Forehead Bedroom-Buffet.
The house is abuzz with love and laughter and larvae, and I guess it's nice having visitors, it's nice hosting the festivities, but these guests never know when to leave, never read the signals when it's late and I'm doing my "Look, I'm In My Pyjamas, I'm Ready For Bed, I'm Holding a Can of Mortein Fast Knockdown (Low Allergenic)" let's-wind-up routine.
So to all househunters out there, do not be fooled into buying an "Entertainer's Paradise" unless your idea of paradise is living inside a giant Bug Catcher, and your idea of entertainment is running around with a cup and a Dominos Pizza flyer, trying to trap bugs inside and throw them out, like tiny drunk guests who never know when a party's run it's course.

Lorraine sneaked off to the Good Housekeeping Institute cookery school There, she learned how to wrap her turkey crown in bacon before cooking Was also taught how to parboil spuds the night before and cover with foil And she made perfect sprouts by frying them with chestnuts and shallots Three hours later, Lorraine had made herself a beautiful Christmas meal

Back to class: Lorraine Candy with her Good Housekeeping turkey
When I left home in Cornwall at 16 to come to work in London, I had scant culinary know-how because my mum didnt enjoy cooking. I dont blame her. I dont like it either its a bit of a bore, frankly.
Mum once threw Christmas lunch at the patio doors, she was so cross with the blackened offering. My dad, younger sister and I watched it all sadly slide down the glass, paper hats on heads, knives and forks in hands, knowing a corned-beef hash tin was about to be opened again.
Three decades later, although Ive never thrown a charred turkey at any patio doors in my house, Im afraid I am still not much better than her.
