Police are appealing for information after a pair of shorts were left at the scene of a burglary in Bedhampton. The incident occurred at a house in Park Lane between 6.15pm and 9.25pm on Friday, December 7th.

An iPad, Toshiba laptop and Kindle were all stolen in the raid, along with cash withdrawn for Christmas presents.
