MONEY and jewellery were stolen in a spate of burglaries that happened in a single day in Worcester.

Six homes were broken into in two areas across the city on Friday, January 11.

Four homes in Northwick and Bevere were targeted including two homes in Bevere Close, which were broken into between 1.45pm and 6.30pm.

Access to both properties was gained by causing damage to windows at the back of the homes. Money and jewellery were taken during the burglaries.

Another two houses were burgled in the Northwick area, in Northwick Road, between 1pm and 6pm.

Jewellery was stolen from one home but nothing was taken from the other property.

If anyone in the area has any CCTV or has seen anything, they are asked to call police on 101 quoting either 0548s 110119 or 0577s 110119.

On the same day, an intruder broke the glass of a back door to break-in at a home in Laslett Street, off Rainbow Hill.

The break-in happened between the hours of 8.10am and 6.30pm. Nothing was taken from the home on that occasion.

If anyone has any CCTV in the area or has seen anyone acting suspicious, please contact the police on 101 quoting 0571s 110119.

On the same day, also in the Rainbow Hill area, between 5pm and 10pm, a home on Green Lane, near Merrimans Hill, was burgled. The intruder damaged a latch to a window to break-in to the property and, again, jewellery was stolen.
