POLICE have issued a warning to residents across Smithills, Heaton and Halliwell after a series of thefts from homes.
Six burglaries were committed in the area last week by thieves who entered homes through unlocked doors. Handbags, mobile phones and property were stolen.
A police spokesman said: "Do not give burglars an easy ride.
"Thieves would rather walk straight into a house than smash a window.
"Everyone should remain vigilant and alert at all times."
