Valuable electronic items, particularly gaming systems, remain a primary target for opportunistic thieves due to their high resale value on secondary markets. Police have conducted house-to-house inquiries and are reviewing local security footage in an attempt to track down the perpetrators.

Crime prevention officers are reminding residents in Bath to ensure their properties are secure, recommending that high-value items like consoles, tablets, and laptops are kept out of sight from windows.
