A handbag was stolen from a home in Alderley Edge last week.
Thieves broke into a property on Brook Lane between 1.30am and 10.30am on Thursday, 11th July.
The offender(s) gained entry via an open ground floor window.
Cheshire Police are urging residents to keep their homes and cars secure during the current warm weather when there is more temptation to leave doors and windows open or unlocked.
Assistant Chief Constable Ruth Purdie said: "During the spells of warm weather, there tends to be an increase in the number of opportunist 'sneak in′ burglaries − where criminals take advantage of residents who leave windows open, patios unlocked and doors ajar.
"It is vitally important to have an awareness of your personal and home security so criminals don′t exploit the opportunity of an open door or window to enter your home and steal your belongings."
Anyone with information about this burglary should contact Wilmslow Police on 101. Alternatively information can be given anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
