Six burglaries took place at various times with various items including laptops, iPads, handbags, wallets and cash taken. On one occasion, at an address in Ayr Close on August 27 at around 12.30am, the victim saw the suspect enter her home, but nothing was taken.

The suspect was described as a white man aged between 17 and 18, around 5ft 8ins tall, with blue eyes and blonde hair.
