Burglary - Walker Road.

Police are appealing for witnesses after a house was burgled and a car was stolen from a house in Walker Road, Birstall.
The first incident happened between 2am and 6.30am on Tuesday August 25, when the occupants woke to find a window at the back of the house had been forced open and property had been taken.
Stolen was some of the victim’s jewellery, a men’s Tissot watch, a Bose Ipod docking station, a quantity of Euros and Greek Drachma and two sets of car keys.
Two youths were seen near to the house at the time of the incident.
One of them is described as white aged, around 16 to 21-years-old and had blonde hair. He was wearing a grey top and was around 5’8” tall.
The second youth is described as white, around 6ft tall and was also wearing a grey top.
The following evening (Wednesday August 26) at around 10.35pm the victim heard, from inside her house, the sound of a car being driven from her gravel driveway. When she looked outside she could see her husband’s car had been taken and her car had been driven in to her fence.
The stolen vehicle is a silver Mazda 3, vehicle registration FG07 UDJ.

PC Phil Woodthorpe, the officer investigating the incident, said: “The victims have been left feeling very vulnerable after having their home burgled one day and their car stolen the next. “We are keen to speak with two youths who were seen in the area at the time of the burglary on August 25. We would like to ask the two to contact us and help us with our investigation as they could have witnessed the incident and have vital information.
“As the suspects came back a second time the likelihood of someone seeing the incident is increased so we are hoping that anyone who witnessed either incident either the Tuesday or Wednesday August 26 will contact us.
“We would also like to appeal to anyone who has seen the stolen vehicle since the theft to call us with details of its whereabouts.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC 1565 Phil Woodthorpe on 0116 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for a police officer and when prompted key in the officer's identification number 1565.
