The following day two further burglaries were reported in Orbit Street and Bedford Street.
Significant items stolen include:
- Lenovo Thinkpad
- Sony Vaio laptop
- HTC Touch mobile phone
- Sony video camera in a grey and black case.
- PlayStation 3
- Toshiba laptop
- Accurist man’s watch
- Fuji Fine Pixel camera.
- iPod Touch with pink cover
Detective Sergeant Stuart Wales said: “Being a victim of a burglar is a traumatic experience and therefore reducing and detecting these offences is a priority for South Wales Police.
“We are carrying out enquiries into each of these burglaries but would very much appreciate the help of the public.
“People can help by reporting any suspicious behaviour they might have noticed in these streets over the weekend, particularly in Claude Road where we think a decorated pillowcase has been used to steal property.
“We are equally keen to hear from anyone who knows where these stolen items might be. It could be that they have been offered for sale somewhere.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Cardiff CID on 02920 527 420 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
