Humberside Police are investigating an increase in burglaries in the Avenues area of west Hull. 

The force said the break-ins have occurred on streets between Princes Avenue and Chanterlands Avenue, which include Victoria Avenue, Park Avenue, Marlborough Avenue and Westbourne Avenue.

Neighbourhood police patrols have been stepped up in the area and residents are being urged to remain vigilant, check their home security and report any suspicious behaviour.

PCSO Louise Mann said: “Remember to keep your own property secure to reduce the opportunity for thieves. Whenever possible, lock your doors and windows in unoccupied rooms, even if you are in the house.

“Please be reminded to lock your doors and to keep any security gates closed and locked at all times

“We also advise residents not to leave high value items on display, as they may entice thieves.”

• To report any suspicious behaviour, call Humberside Police on the non-emergency number 101. If a crime is in progress, call 999.
