DETECTIVES are appealing for witnesses after a Boxing Day sneak-in burglary.

Sometime between 7pm and 7.20pm thieves entered a shared house on Watson Terrace, in Holgate, York, through an insecure patio door and took a TV and a Play Station 3 games console.

Officers have been reviewing CCTV footage in the area and believe there were a number of people around at the time who may have seen any suspicious behaviour and are urging them to come forward.

Contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option two and ask for Detective Constable John Phillips or York CID or e-mail john.phillips@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk
