Police are now advising residents to ensure they have adequate security as well as keeping garden sheds and garages locked and secure.
A ‘T’ bar lock can be secured to the ground externally or stand alone alarms can be purchased that rely on motion and infrared detection.
Officers have added that if your garage gives access to your house you should also consider additional security for the internal door, too.
Anyone with any information about the recent crimes can call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
