Independent charity Barnes Common revealed in a social media post yesterday (Tuesday, 9 June) that its offices in the Pavilion at Vine Road Recreation Ground were victim to a burglary.

Via Instagram Barnes Common said: "Luckily these events took place at night when no staff were on site, so no one was hurt, but there has been some damage, and several items have been stolen. "

The charity ask residents to notify them if they come across the following items:

1 x Huawei laptop inside a blue neoprene zip bag
1 x Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE tablet in a protective case
