Speaking after the incidents occurred, Councillor Diver said: “It is particularly distressing to discover that people’s homes have been targeted by thieves over the Christmas period. There are added risks at this time of year due to people being away from home for periods of time visiting loved ones during the festive period. There is also an added attraction of Christmas presents for potential thieves.

“I would urge people to be extremely vigilant regarding any suspicious activity in their local area, and to ensure that all valuables are stowed away as safely as possible, out of sight for potential thieves.
