The break-in is understood to have taken place between 9am and 3.30pm.

Thieves also made off with jewellery and cash after targeting a property in Ryders Avenue.

Police say a pair of blue Beats Solo 2 wireless headphones, two Fossil watches, a Pandora charm bracelet, an Xbox One S games console, an Xbox 360 games console, a white Samsung Galaxy Tab, and a silver Apple iPad 6 were all taken.

It comes after a house was targeted in broad daylight in Margate on Bank Holiday Monday with electrical items and jewellery also taken and a window smashed - but police say the two incidents are not thought to be linked.
