BURGLARS may be targeting homes by using a series of codes marked on the buildings.
Cryptic codes and symbols thought to be used by burglars have emerged online.
It is believed they may be using a series of codes to offer fellow crooks information about a household.
They include whether the occupant is vulnerable, if the house is not worth stealing from and if one is a good target.
The codes are supposedly marked on the walls.
Call police on 101 if you have concerns.
