WRAPPED Christmas presents were among the items stolen from a house in Middlesbrough.

The house, on Netherfields Crescent, was ransacked by burglars who made off with hundreds of pounds worth of goods.

The incident was reported to police on Thursday, October 4 but the burglary is believed to have occurred sometime over the past week.

Mattresses from beds were stolen, along with children’s toys including wrapped Christmas presents, a TV, DVD player, a digital Sky box, women’s and children’s clothes.

A bottle of whiskey and a coin collection which both have sentimental value were also taken.

Damage was also caused to the inside of the property.

A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: “Enquiries are ongoing and any witnesses or anyone who may have been offered the stolen items for sale are asked to contact PC Dannii Dixon on the non-emergency number 101, quoting event number 183200.”
