Residents are being urged to be vigilant after a third burglary in Dorchester in a three day period.

Police are appealing for witnesses after offenders entered a property in Bridport Road through the rear of the premises and made off with various items on Tuesday afternoon between 4.30pm and 7pm.

The incident followed burglaries in South Court Avenue and Treves Road on Sunday.

He said: “We would like to try and remind to be vigilant and if they see anything suspicious to let us know immediately.”
