THREE burglaries took place last weekend in Enfield because residents had left their windows open.
Police are reminding people to make sure all windows and doors are secure in the hot weather.
DS Ken Hughes, Burglary Squad said: "A burglar only needs to spot an open window, unlocked side gate or door to make his move. An open window is an opportunity to a burglar."
He added: "People don't always appreciate how much valuable property is often kept in their sheds. Lawnmowers, bicycles and power tools are attractive to thieves and are usually costly to replace. The other danger with leaving sheds and outbuildings unlocked often means that thieves can use garden tools stored in them as a tool to force entry into the house."
