There has been an opportunistic break in at 66 Barton Road earlier this afternoon (25 November) whilst the occupants were out for a short while so there are people about looking around and knocking on doors waiting for just such an opportunity. So please keep an eye out for any unusual activity.
The police are interested if anyone has seen anything suspicious or has information.
