They struck in Cross Allen Road, Beighton, between 6pm and 10.30pm on Saturday after kicking in a door panel to gain entry to the house.

South Yorkshire Police said they found the keys for a blue Honda Civic parked outside and loaded it with electrical items from the house.

Two days later the stolen Honda was used as the getaway car after a burglary in Nether Oak Close, Beighton.

A police spokesman said during that raid, at 4.50pm on Monday, burglars 'challenged occupants for a handbag and contents'.

Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101.
