Dc Owain Morrison said: “Being a victim of a burglary is a traumatic experience and therefore reducing and detecting these offences is a priority for South Wales Police.
“Please don’t keep items in the top drawer of a chest of drawers, under the bed or in the back of the wardrobe, this is generally the first place offenders will look.
“As always we remind people to make sure all windows and doors are locked including gates leading to rear gardens.”
Anyone with information about this burglary is asked to contact Rumney CID on 029 2077 4233, South Wales Police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting occurrence number *184016.
