A spate of 24 burglaries have taken place in Pinner over the last few weeks.
Police say the ethnicity of the burglary victims vary but many of the victims are of Asian descent because criminals are aware of the quality and value that Asian gold possesses.
Other expensive property including designer watches, currency and vehicles has also been taken.
The majority of the burglaries have taken place after dark. On two occasions, houses were burgled minutes after the victim/s left the house in the evening.
Burglars have been walking through unlocked or insufficiently secured side gates, or using wheelie bins or other available elevated footholds to climb onto and over low-level garage roofs and side gates.
Doors have been prised open and windows smashed to gain entry to the properties.
Residents who see any suspicious activity are advised to call the non-emergency 101 or emergency 999 number.
