A THIEF stole an Easter egg after breaking into a home in Radcliffe this week.

Police reported that the incident took place in Queen Street on Tuesday, after the burglar entered the home through an unsecure window.

A police spokesman warned: "Burglars can strike at any time but most burglaries can be prevented by securing your home.

"Doors and their frames should be strong and in good condition. If your front and back doors are not secure neither is your home.

"Fit window locks to all easy to reach windows, for example, those on the ground floor, above a flat roof or near a drainpipe."
