"Help from the public is vital to our enquiries. Anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in these areas, no matter how small, should get in touch.

“I would like to take this opportunity to remind people to take all precautions available to ensure that their homes are as secure as possible before leaving.

“Take time to make sure all locks are working and any alarm systems or CCTV are set before leaving your home and remember to remove or store any valuables out of sight.”

Anyone with information should call 101 quoting 3723 of 24 March, or alternatively Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.
