Local tradesman Robert said he regularly had to replace doors after break-ins into homes still under construction on the street.

“You’ll get to work in the morning and someone will have ripped the door off it’s hinges looking for something to steal despite the fact the house isn’t finished,” he said.

“Other than that it’s been a pretty quiet street I haven’t noticed any problems for the people living there.”

Police are yet to lay charges.
