Police have urged people in Norwich to make sure their doors are kept locked after four burglaries in the city in the space of less than a week.

Norfolk police said three of the crimes happened during the early hours in the west of the city and involved the burglar getting into the homes because doors were left unlocked.

Superintendent Dave Marshall said: We would like to once again remind residents of the importance of locking all doors, including patio doors and French windows prior to going to bed.

He urged people to increase security at their homes by making sure keys were not kept in locks and not to leave them near doors or windows.

He also said people should consider fitting a letterbox cage or restrictor which prevents burglars from putting their hands or gadgets through the letter box and trying the latches from the inside.

Anyone who notices anybody acting suspiciously should call police on 101, or 999 if a crime is actually in progress.
