A REMINDER about household security has been issued by Darlington's North Road policing team following several recent burglaries.
Officers say that the majority of the burglaries in the North Road area have happened at properties that have been left insecure.
The team is urging residents to remember to lock their doors and windows so they do not become the next victim.
