Three houses in Bury St Edmunds have been burgled over the past week.

The first break-in took place last Thursday in Flemyng Road, where the back door was forced open and items of jewellery were stolen.

The following day a house in Raedwald Drive had the glass of a patio door smashed and items including a laptop and jewellery taken.

The final incident took place last night, in Winthrop Road, where entry was gained to a property via an insecure front door and £20 in cash was stolen from a purse.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
