A WOMAN has admitted burgling two houses.

The woman has been interviewed and admitted two house burglaries on September 11 in the Neville's Cross area of Durham.

Sergeant Mark Mallatratt said: “This was a successful investigation and the suspect has been identified and arrested.

“Please remember to lock all doors and windows when you are not at home and ensure you turn the key in the door when you are at home.

“We still get far more sneak in type offences rather than actual break-ins so please don’t leave yourselves vulnerable to the opportunist thief."
