Burglars 'forcing windows' to get into 'priority target' homes

Student houses and flats in Liverpool have been hit by a string of burglaries throughout November.

Three burglaries occurred in flats in Wavertree and Toxteth, a popular area for student houses in Liverpool, and a further seven occurred in houses across Liverpool. The burglaries took place between Tuesday, November 15 to Saturday, November 26, with items like laptops and MacBooks being taken, as well as a set of car keys and a Blue Fiat 500 which were taken from an address on Hartington Road in Liverpool.

Student flats have often been a target for burglars as they're often empty at night with students on nights out, and usually contain multiple laptops and other tech equipment. Student houses also often have more than one car, making them a priority target for burglars.
