Police are warning Borehamwood residents to close windows overnight, after a burglar stole hundreds of pounds from a Stratfield Road home last week. Police believe the elderly victim's home was burgled, between 11.30pm on Sunday June 9 and 8am on Monday June 10, when the thief got in through a living room window at the back of the house, possibly left open. Detectives are checking CCTV footage and appealing for witnesses.
