A hoard of electrical equipment, alcohol and cigarettes was stolen from a flat in Stanmore, Winchester, at the weekend.

Thieves entered the property, at Octavia Hill, after finding a spare key.

They helped themselves to a Philips VCR, a Goodman's stereo system, bottles of brandy and vodka, £200 in cash, 600 Benson and Hedges cigarettes and a quantity of Golden Virginia tobacco.
