BURGLARS have been targeting Andover properties in broad daylight in recent days.

Police say that “a couple” of homes in the Winton and Millway areas of the town have been burgled.

In both cases, offenders gained entry at the rear of the properties and conducted an untidy search.

Officers add that they will be conducting house-to-house enquiries over the coming days.

In the meantime residents have been advised to ensure all buildings are left secure and report any suspicious persons seen “loitering” in the area.
