Police are appealing for witnesses and offering crime prevention advice to homeowners following a burglary in Andover.

The incident occurred between 9am on Thursday, August 2 and 5.30pm on Sunday, August 5 at a house in Kew Walk while the occupants were away on holiday.

Numerous items of jewellery were stolen from the address along with two laptops.

PC David Mills from Andover police station said: "I would like to speak to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area during this time frame.

"I'd also like to take this opportunity to offer some advice to homeowners to help them keep their properties safe while on holiday this summer.


"If you are going away from your property for an extended period, try to make your home look occupied - cancel milk and newspaper deliveries, get a friend or neighbour to collect your post and draw your curtains and use timer switches to turn the lights on in the evening."
