Christchurch City Police are reminding residents to keep the safety of themselves and their property top of mind after burglaries in the area.

In particular, Police have recently received two reports in Opawa and St Martins of offenders knocking on a front door, distracting the resident, and then entering the home to steal items near the door.

When the residents have returned they have found items stolen and the offender gone.
