North Yorkshire Police have received multiple reports in the areas of Bolton Percy, Sherburn in Elmet and Ryther, that occurred overnight on the 25/04 to 26/04. 

The different reports include thefts from vehicles, thefts from a shed and gardens. 

We have also had reports of unknown suspects trying the car door handles of vehicles around the Bolton Percy area.  

If you have a vehicle parked overnight, please keep security in mind. You can make it much harder for offenders to target your vehicle by:

Please ensure any garages or sheds are secured with good locks and security measures are in place. We strongly advise fitting a shed/garage alarm which can be purchased for as little as £10 from DIY stores or online, they are battery operated and are very easy to fit. It's also a good idea to lock items together or to a secure fitting inside your building using a cable lock or chain. 

Your local police team are aware and have the area on their patrol plan.
