Police are urging residents to be vigilant following a spate of shed burglaries and attempted break-ins in Bradwell.

Five incidents were reported in Ecclestone Close in one night, with a bottle of whiskey being stolen from one shed.

Officers are now urging residents to be vigilant, keep sheds locked and secure overnight and to property mark any valuables.

All the break-ins happened overnight on Wednesday, June 25 and police are now appealing for witnesses. Officers are also keen to trace a man seen in the area in the early hours of Thursday described as wearing beige coloured trousers, a blue baseball cap and a chequered long-sleeve shirt.
