Detectives hunting those responsible for a significant spate of burglaries since before Christmas reiterated their call to the public again this week - as locals can help play their part in beating the burglar by reporting any suspicious behaviour immediately.

A 20-year-old woman was arrested by police following a burglary at the garage of a home in Uplands Close overnight on Sunday, December 27 and Monday, December 28. She has been bailed to return to Lowestoft police station on February 16.
'The number of house burglaries is once again up but nine are attempted burglaries where no entry was gained or nothing was stolen,' Ms Breach said.
'Police have also made a number of arrests in connection with these incidents, thanks again in part to alert members of the public calling in when they have seen or heard something unusual.'
'We would again ask anyone noticing any suspicious behaviour to call using 999,' she added.
