According to local neighbourhood watch reports, the incidents are said to have happened some time between late Sunday evening and the early hours of Monday morning.

The thieves are said to have been determined, cutting off bolts and padlocks and did considerable damage to some properties.

If you have not already done so, check your sheds, outbuildings and garages both for signs of any break-in and also to ensure they are secure.
