RESIDENTS in Hill Head and Stubbington are being warned about burglars targeting the area after intruders in balaclavas raided a house with people inside last Friday.

Two offenders entered a house on Crofton Lane, Hill Head, between 7.10pm and 7.20pm where they stole watches, jewellery and handbags before they were scared off. ‘The two offenders, who were dressed in black and wearing balaclavas, were disturbed by the house occupants who were at home at the time,’ a police statement said.
