Police have charged and remanded four suspects for a series of burglaries and associated offences in Harrogate and the surrounding villages.
Officers said that it is common to see a spike in burglaries during the summer months.
Burglars often take advantage of doors and windows left open in homes.
Detective Sergeant Tom Barker from Harrogate CID said:
“With the good weather continuing, our plea is to ensure that you remain mindful of opportunist burglars – where possible, secure your windows and doors.
"These recent arrests and remands into custody demonstrate that North Yorkshire Police will be relentless in pursuing those individuals who are suspected of committing burglary offences and putting them before the courts.
"However, we won't be complacent and we will continue to pursue those who cause misery to others.
"Criminals suspected of committing burglaries within North Yorkshire should expect the police to come down hard on them.
"We hope these recent arrests and charges provide some reassurances to our communities.”
If you see any suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood, call it in on 101.
If there is a burglary or another incident ongoing, call 999.
