EAST END householders have reported more break-ins to cops in the area over the last few days. 

The force said they have received more reports of thieves targeting homes for items including cars. Homes have been targeted overnight and one householder even disturbed a thief. 

It comes after we reported on a string of thefts last week. The thieves seem to be targeting the properties in order to steal cars and cops in Shettleston have been dealing with reports all over the division.

In the latest round of crime reports, police revealed a car and van were nicked overnight on Monday into Tuesday, July 1 and 2 after thieves raided a home in Crowhall Drive, Barlanark. 

Items were also stolen from a house in Easdale Drive, Shettleston which was also broken into during the same period.

Police Scotland previously issued security advice to householders to avoid being the victim of a housebreaking.

Householders are advised to use timer switches on lights and radios to make it look as if their home is occupied.

You should also ensure all doors and windows are secure when you leave your property or go to bed.

In addition, you should protect your property by using security lighting at the front and back of your home, and you can also lock away outdoor items such as gardening tools and ladders.

Police Scotland also says you should use a good quality lock on garden sheds and make a note of all makes, models and serial numbers of your property.

Anyone who has been the victim of a theft or has information in relation to the break-ins can contact Police Scotland on 101.
