Community police officers at Kirkintilloch are warning residents to be extra vigilant in securing their homes.
A police spokersperson said: “Thieves are looking for any weak spots they can find.
“Make sure all your doors and windows are secure and don’t leave car keys in sight, particularly within reach of your front doors.
“Although it did not happen in this case, robbers often hook keys use a ‘fishing rod’ type method through letter boxes.”
Anyone who can help police find the robbers should call 101.
