Police have urged residents in a town to be mindful of home security after two burglaries were reported on Thursday.

Wiltshire Police said homes in Frome Road and Bond Street Buildings, in Trowbridge, were targeted between 0100 and 0500 GMT.

It is thought the raiders gained entry via unlocked doors.

Cards and cash were taken from one home, while a games console and games were reported stolen from the other.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said officers from the burglary team had conducted initial enquiries.

They are keen to hear from anyone who may have information, including any dash cam, CCTV or doorbell footage, they said.

"We would also like to remind residents to ensure all doors and windows are locked overnight and when homes are left unattended," they added.
