The first happened at around 1.40am on Tuesday in Beatrice Road, Thorpe Hamlet.

Burglars broke into the property through the front door before stealing a Sony Bravia television, cutting the wires in the process.

After searching the house they stole items including a 40-inch Samsung TV, a Samsung Galaxy tablet, a Samsung digital camera and a Sony and HP laptop.

Police have appealed for information from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area at the time of either incident, or who has been offered items for sale in unusual circumstances.

Anyone with information about either incident should contact police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
