BURGLARS made off with a whopping £4,500 of items following a break-in at an Ipswich home.

Between 11.10pm on Monday and 7am on Tuesday a house in Green Oak Glade in the Pinewood area of the town was entered.

The culprits then stole a Samsung 42in plasma TV, a Sony handheld digital video camera, a Canon digital camera, a Toshiba laptop computer, a passport, a handbag, some Wii games and DVDs.

Then between 12.30pm on Monday and 10am on Tuesday a garage in Chapel Lane, Belstead, was broken into and a blue-cream coloured Yamaha moped, index F78 NGV, and a black open-faced helmet were taken from inside.

The two burglaries have been linked by Suffolk police. It follows a spate of burglaries from insecure homes in Hadleigh earlier this week.

A spokeswoman for Suffolk police said: “Community intelligence is vital and people should report any suspicious activity to us.

“It is not a waste of time if we get a call and it is a false alarm.”

Anyone with information about the Pinewood crime should call Pc Debbie Tyrrell, and people should contact Pc Matthew Paisley about the Belstead burglary.

The Pcs can both be contacted at the east Babergh safer neighbourhood team on 01473 613500 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
