Thieves target work vans
Detective Constable Rachael Shields said: “We believe at this time that these break-ins and thefts are linked.
“The thieves obviously knew what they were looking for and seem to have specifically targeted works vans.
“I would ask anyone with a work van to be vigilant and not leave tools in the vehicle overnight. Secure lock boxes are also a deterrent to thieves and you can have your tools marked which make them less desirable to steal.
"If anyone in the areas targeted has any information, private CCTV or dash cam footage, contact us.”
