Officers say properties have been targeted across the region.

A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said:

> “The opportunist thieves have gained entry to properties via open windows and have been searching for jewellery and cash.  
>  
> “We would remind people to ensure that they lock windows and doors when their property is unattended and to report suspicious activity to police.”
