A Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary officer, from the Waterlooville South policing team, said the force has received three reports over the last five days. Expensive tools have been targeted.
The officer said: “Offences have all taken place at night by means of forcing doors or drilling locks whether a vehicle is parked on a driveway or on the street. Once the vehicle is entered untidy searches are made and items stolen these predominantly being high value power tools.” They added that thefts like this can be “distressing”, and making the reports public is a way of raising awareness about the incidents taking place.
