A MAN has been arrested in relation to two burglaries and six attempted burglaries, which all happened in the same day.

West Yorkshire Police's Leeds North West Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) posted about the arrest on its Facebook page yesterday.

The eight alleged offences took place in the Guiseley and Yeadon areas in the early hours of last Sunday.

The NPT has urged homeowners to take careful steps to ensure their homes remain secure, "especially as the darker nights creep in".

Some of the advice includes using timer switches to turn lights on when out, checking your alarm system and bulbs in outside lights are in working order, and getting into the habit of locking the door even when you're at home.
