Burglaries in the Gardens area and suspect description

From our local police team:

Burglaries have started to spring up in the area bordered by Canfield Gardens, Fairhazel Gardens, Greencroft Gardens and Broadhurst Gardens. There have been multiple offences all with the same suspect and modus operandi. The properties hit have all been backing on to the communal garden, entry has always been gained via the rear and is not forced. This means that people are leaving their properties insecure.

The suspect is described as a white male between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five with short dark hair and who wears glasses. Entry is gained through the back of the property via unlocked windows and doors and is during the hours of darkness in the evenings.
