PCSO Tammy Careless, of the Walton and West Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We would encourage people to check that their sheds and the contents are as secure as they can be. Use good quality locks, install motion sensor alarms and security mark any valuable property. You should also consider registering valuables on the UK national property register, Immobilise.

“We are currently carrying out inquiries into these thefts and would like to speak to anyone who may have information which could help.”

Call police on 101 with any information.
