POLICE are urging residents to be extra vigilant after a spate of burglaries in Edgworth.

Over the last two weeks, there have been three burglaries and a number of thefts in the Edgworth and Chapeltown area.

All have occurred during the day when thieves have stolen high value goods, including LCD televisions, jewellery and electrical items.

Thieves have also stolen stone from properties.

PCSO Chris Williams said: "Edgworth is a small community and I appeal to anyone with information about who is responsible for these burglaries to come forward.

"I urge residents in Edgworth to be extra vigilant and take extra precautions to secure their homes this festive period."

Anybody with information about these incidents is asked call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

I am not surprised poor people try to rob us in Edgworth; our wealth is most attractive to the no-marks of this world who are not embraced by the love of God.

Ita the ones with no money what do the robbing,
Why would anyone want to rob a house with nowt,
Just the lazy idle scrots who know its easier to rob than work,
The way this shi-- goverment are going the ordinary person will have nowt anyway,
So who are the scrotes going to rob then,
Apart from the rich idolised footballers with millions,

I think Edgworth is part of Blackburn/Darwen for policing.

You mean the police actually bothered to up when the burglaries where reported… or is Edgworth different to other parts of Bolton. I only ask since my friend reported a theft almost two weeks ago and no one bothered to visit or even telephone!
