Residents are being urged to remain vigilant following a series of burglaries in Farnborough.

Police say there have been seven over the last two weeks.

The first incident happened on 17 November.

The majority have seen criminals gain access via insecure windows and doors, and mostly happen after 7pm.

Farnborough Police said in a post on Facebook:

"Please can I ask you all to be vigilant and report any suspicious persons, vehicles or activity to us.

"Also, if you are at home, please make sure your doors are locked.

"It is very easy for an opportunist to gain quick entry, grab items like purses and keys and be gone unnoticed."

Officers are also asking for anyone with CCTV to check to see if there is anything of note.

The dates of the burglaries were:

-17th November in Southwood, Wisley Gardens

-19th November in St John's, Church Lane

-27th November three incidents in St John's, Fleet Road, Severn Road and Newfield Avenue

-28th November two incidents, St John's and Mayfield area
