A WARNING has been issued by police about summertime sneak-in burglaries after two incidents in Bromsgrove where thieves took advantage of unlocked doors and windows.

They happened in Churchfields in Sidemoor last Wednesday and Thursday (June 11 and 12) and, because of the way they were carried out, officers believe they could be linked.

Both properties were accessed via unlocked windows or patio doors after the raiders gained access to the back gardens.

The first - between 1am and 1.30am on June 11 - saw a white Sony laptop and three mobile phones, worth a combined 620, taken. The owner was in another room at the time of the incident.

And on June 12, a 2,400 haul was taken from a house in the same street which included an Acer Laptop and a variety of jewellery. Among the items stolen were a gold necklace, earrings and bracelet with an Aztec design, a rope chain gold ankle bracelet and another bracelet with blue and white stones.

Witnesses or anyone with any information should call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Following the incidents, Det Con Tony Flannagan from the North Worcestershire anti-burglary team warned residents to be on their guard against sneak-in burglaries.

He said: With summer upon us and the weather generally warmer people will often leave windows and doors open to get a bit of fresh or cooler air blowing through the house.

Unfortunately opportunist thieves will target such properties as they know they can nip in and out very quickly, grabbing any valuables in sight.

People need to get into the habit of ensuring doors and windows are locked, even if they are at home, and equally they need to get out of the mindset that this type of offence always happens to other people and not them."

They then phoned a local bird of prey rescue centre and an expert spent 30 minutes getting the young eagle off its makeshift perch using a dead chick.

It was then reunited with its owner and falconer James Moore who revealed the young bird was called Storm and was being trained to ward off seagulls at a nearby landfill site.

It had been reported missing three days prior to turning up at Ms Morrells house after it was frightened by a loud bang and broke its tethers.

Ms Morrell, a retired maths teacher in her 50s, said: "We were about to watch the final of the French Open tennis when this big black thing swooped into the room.

"We have had small birds fly into the patio doors before and I thought it might have happened again but then Karen said 'it's an eagle'.

"We couldn't believe it. Initially there was total panic - our two dogs were in the front room and they both jumped to their feet and started barking.

"We took them into a bedroom and shut the door then went back into the lounge to get a proper look.

"There was the huge eagle, around 18 inches tall, sat on top of the wooden glass cabinet.

"It had knocked over a few ornaments and then started pecking away at a bowl of pot pourri.

"We thought about trying to tempt it back outside and tried putting ham outside but it didn't work so we called the police who put us in touch with Wessex Bird of Prey Rescue.

Perched imperiously on top of a wooden display cabinet, it looks rather like something brought home from the taxidermist. But this eagle was very much alive, swooping into a living room through a set of open patio doors.

The bird, a steppe eagle called Storm, landed on the cabinet and then knocked over a selection of ornaments with its 4ft wings and pecked at a bowl of pot-pourri.

Eagle flies into a living room in Broadstone

5:28pm Sunday 8th June 2014 in News By Toby Wadey

Picture by Wendy Morrell

AN EAGLE flew into a womans living room as she watched the French Open final in Broadstone this afternoon.

Wendy Morrell was at home with friend Karen Ruddlesden and her two dogs, Coco and Udo, when the surprise visitor swooped into the house.

It is a hot day so we had the doors open and were watching the tennis. Then suddenly all hell broke loose in our living room, she added.

This enormous black thing flew in and the dogs went absolutely berserk.

Wendy promptly called Wessex Bird of Prey Rescue, which quickly deployed an officer to collect the bird, later identified as a Russian Steppe eagle called Boris.

Boris had earlier gone missing from Beacon Hill landfill site in Corfe Mullen.

The 18ins tall Russian Steppe eagle flew through open patio doors and into Wendy Morrell's lounge, knocking over ornaments with its 4ft wingspan

The eagle has landed... on a display cabinet in a lounge in DORSET.

Wendy Morrell couldnt believe her eyes when the huge eagle swooped into her front room while she was watching TV.

The 18ins tall Russian Steppe eagle flew through open patio doors and into her lounge, knocking over ornaments with its 4ft wingspan as it landed on the wooden display cabinet before pecking at a bowl of pot pourri.

Wendys friend Karen Ruddlesden put on a winter jacket and glove for protection and tried to lure the big bird down.

When that failed the pair placed pieces of ham outside in a bid to tempt it but with no joy.

They then phoned a bird of prey rescue centre near their home in Poole and an expert spent 30 minutes getting the young eagle off its makeshift perch using a dead chick.

It was then reunited with its owner and falconer James Moore who revealed the young bird was called Storm and was being trained to ward off seagulls at a nearby landfill site.

It had been reported missing three days prior to turning up at Wendys house after it was frightened by a loud bang and broke its tethers.

Wendy, a retired maths teacher aged in her 50s, said: We were about to watch the final of the French Open tennis when this big black thing swooped into the room.

Cat flap and unlocked patio doors used to target Coventry homes

Eight homes have been burgled in less than a week in a tiny part of Coventry.

Six of the break-ins happened when a burglar crept in through unlocked patio doors while police think he used a cat flap to break into the other two properties.

Police believe the same offender may be behind the spate of burglaries.

The homes affected are less than half a mile away from each other in the Cheylesmore area.

The day after the last burglary a 32-year-old Coventry man was arrested and questioned.

Sgt Jane Howarth, from Canley police station, said: Officers flooded the area and through enquiries arrested a local man on suspicion of burglary. He has now been bailed pending further enquiries.

On nearly all occasions back doors and patio doors were left unlocked making it easy pickings for any would be thieves.

We will continue to patrol the area but I would appeal to local residents to review their security, locking doors and windows before they go to bed, taking keys out of locked doors and putting them in a cupboard or out of reach will reduce their chances dramatically of becoming a victim of burglary.

The first burglary happened in Cornelius Street between May 23 and 24. He struck again in the same street on May 24 before targeting a house in Seed Field Croft between May 26 and 27.
