BURGLARS helped themselves to furniture and kitchen appliances from an unoccupied flat in Bradford.

The property, which is an apartment on Broadway in the city centre, was broken into at some point between Christmas Eve and December 27, say police.

A police spokesman said the burglary was only reported on Tuesday when it was discovered by the building's caretaker.

Crime scene investigators were at the flat yesterday.

Anyone with any information on the burglary can call police on 101.
