Comments (1)COPS are warning homeowners to be vigilant following a recent spell of warm weather.
Hillingdon Police has issued advice reminding people to keep doors and windows locked at night to help deter burglars.
PC Mike Smooker, a local crime prevention officer, said: "Once the evenings become warmer people are more likely to open windows for ventilation.
"That's fine provided someone is in that room and awake. However, please remember that an open window will allow more than just a breeze in.
"If a burglar sees an open window he may try his luck.
"When you go to bed please make sure that all accessible windows, including small fanlights, are properly closed and locked."
