Warning issued after Bilton-in-Ainsty burglary
7:58am Saturday 9th February 2013 in News
RESIDENTS have been urged to remain vigilant after a woman disturbed burglars at her home outside York this week.
Detectives investigating burglaries in the Bilton-in-Ainsty area have appealed for information, after two neighbouring homes in Rudgate were targeted by burglars at about 11.30am on Wednesday.
One householder was upstairs when she heard a knock at the front door, then her back door. On her way downstairs, she heard a rear window smash.
The woman ran outside to get help, and saw a small, white van in a nearby lay-by. It drove off towards Wighill, picking up another person who ran from the victim’s house.
Police later discovered the house next door had been burgled and some high-value jewellery stolen.
Anyone who saw a small white van suspiciously in the neighbourhood is asked to phone 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
