IN an attempt to heighten awareness of burglaries in the Stockton area police officers have been distributing leaflets to neighbours of people who have been burgled.
They hope this will alert householders to the fact that they live in a similar type of house and should take care to avoid the same thing happening to them.
In addition, people are also being encouraged to join neighbourhood watch schemes.
