Officers are carrying out enquiries into the incidents and are appealing to the public for information.

Neighbourhood Inspector Liz Hall said: "Thieves are targeting the area and we want to remind people to make sure they make it as difficult as possible for them to steal.

"At the very least motorists should always lock the vehicle when they leave it unattended, and double check it is locked. Any valuables should be out of sight.

“We would ask the public to remain vigilant and report anything suspicious to us."
