On March 9, at approximately 11.45am burglars climbed through a bedroom window in Riverside Gardens, Langthorpe, Boroughbridge. Items of Jewellery were moved but nothing was stolen. Police believe the occupier of the house disturbed the offender before anything was taken.

Later that day, between 2pm and 5.50pm burglars again climbed through an unsecure window into a property in Stevenson Close, Knaresborough where a jewellery box and all of its contents was stolen.

A man of the same description was seen in the areas of both the properties in Knaresborough and also the property in Langthorpe, Boroughbridge, around the time the burglaries took place. The man is described as 30 – 40 years of age, average build with broad shoulders. He is said to have been wearing a dark coloured beanie style hat, a khaki coloured camouflage jacket and dark trousers.

If anyone has any information about the man, or saw him in any of the mentioned areas at the time, please contact the police on 101.
