WEST DORSET: Police have issued safety advice following a spate of burglaries in the Bridport and Sherborne areas.
Offenders have been smashing patio doors and windows in order to gain access to the properties.
Residents are asked to remove keys from doors and windows, placing them out of reach and sight so they can’t be used by thieves.
If you have information about any of the burglaries, call Dorset Police on 101.
