Burglars target two homes in Fulbeck
Burglars have targeted two homes in Fulbeck, near Sleaford and stolen jewellery, credit cards and other valuables.
The first incident saw a number of necklaces and two rings taken from a property on Washdyke Lane in Fulbeck on Saturday, November 30.
Police says thieves used a tool to loosen the bottom panel of the back door to help gain access.
“The crime was reported at 8pm and is thought to have take place between 3pm and 7.40pm on that day,” said a spokesman.
A second incident a day later saw a property targeted on Lincoln Road in Fulbeck. The burglary was reported to the force at around 8.15pm.
The thieves smashed a window to gain access to the home and then stole credit cards, and a full and half sovereign from a bedroom upstairs.
Investigators are now appealing for information as they track down those responsible for both of these crimes.

We recommend Immobilise where you can log your valuables and record serial numbers – this helps in our investigations and means you are more likely to get your property back if it’s stolen.
