Police are warning residents in Streatham to shut their windows at night during summer after a spate of burglaries over the weekend.
Many burglars gained access to first and ground floor homes in Streatham through kitchen and bathroom windows left open because of the hot weather.
Detective Chief Inspector Nick Sedgemore said: βItβs a real invitation to burglars. Remember to keep windows closed at night or when you go out.β
