We're urging anyone that sees any form of suspicious behaviour to please report this to help in our investigations.

 

Suspicious behaviours can include the changing of registration plates, suspects wearing gloves and balaclavas out in public, unknown car to the area making loops around to scout out potential target cars and if you hear a car alarm, please check why the alarm was triggered and report this as soon as possible if a crime has occurred.
