BURGLARS stole two laptops while a family were in another room eating their dinner.

The intruders climbed through an open window to steal a Dell laptop and an Apple Macbook.

A 44-year-old man and his family were just metres away in another room eating a meal together while the burglars struck. The break-in took place at Pine Way, in Bassett, Southampton.

Burglary investigators say the thieves took the expensive electrical items from a dark part of the house.
