Two laptops and cash were stolen from a home in Bricket Wood.

A house was broken into on Thursday, January 14.

DC Paul Cullinan is investigating and said: “Black Boy Wood is a busy thoroughfare with a lot of people walking to and from Bricket Wood train station.

"I would appeal for anyone who was in the area at the time to please contact me if they saw anything suspicious.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to please ask residents to consider some crime prevention advice to help prevent their home becoming a target.

"I would especially like to advise residents not to leave keys hidden outside their front door.”
