West Yorkshire Police are appealing for information after two houses were broken into in Huddersfield.

The incidents, which police believe are connected, took place on 7 October at houses on Taylor Hill and Vermont Close in the Scapegoat Hill area of Huddersfield. The break ins are believed to have taken place between 1:10pm and 9:30pm and 8:30am and 11:30pm respectively.

Electrical devices and a small amount of cash was taken from the property on Taylor Hill, and nothing was stolen from the house on Vermont close.
