REGARDING your front-page story about Blackburn’s former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan being the victim of an armed terror raid (LT, June 19), if anything this shows how clever the modern criminal has to be, to gain what should be secure information via the social media networks.

In my grandfather’s day, you could leave your doors open.

How times have changed!
