At approximately 00:50hrs, two unknown suspects wearing dark-coloured clothing forced entry into a property undergoing renovation by kicking in the Yale lock on the main door.

Once inside, the suspects stole a quantity of tools, cable and copper from within the premises. They then made off on foot carrying the stolen items in the direction of Heathcliffe, Haworth.

Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area around this time, or who may have CCTV, doorbell footage, or dashcam recordings that could assist the investigation, is asked to contact West Yorkshire Police quoting the relevant incident or crime reference number.

Secondly if you have a door with a cylinder lock (composite or UPVC doors mainly) please check the lock.
