AROUND £1000 of cash was stolen from a house in Trowbridge during a burglary on Saturday (December 14) evening.

Entry was forced into the house in Lavender Road while the occupants were out.

A police spokesman said: "Most burglaries are opportunistic. Always close and lock doors and windows when you go out – even if just for a short time – and when you go to bed at night. Don’t forget doors into garages and conservatories."
