There were 24 burglaries reported in the last week in Bury and over half were due to open windows and unlocked doors.

Due to the warm weather residents have been leaving windows open and effectively providing an invitation to burglars. Police are warning residents to be vigilant and keep windows and doors closed and locked when out of the house.
