A string of burglaries have been reported in the Stratton St Margaret area of Swindon - all in one morning.

Seven offences are being investigating, which took place on the Thursday before last (27th March) between 4.50 and 6.10am.

The Gayton Way and Weedon Road area was targeted, with an angle grinder, gardening items and bungee cords taken.

Wiltshire Police believe two men were involved - they were seen on bikes at the time, wearing all black and carrying backpacks.

One of them was wearing a face covering, and officers think it could be him in this video that's been shared:

Swindon Police have said in a social media post: "He's unlikely to be identified through the video but may have been seen in the area by other people."

We're asked to contact officers with any information by calling 101, quoting reference number 54250037306.
