“Offender(s) have broken into a vehicle parked on a driveway and attempted to break into a shed.
“A laptop has been stolen but fortunately we believe that the offender(s) were disturbed before being able to steal anything else. It is believed that the offender(s) had a vehicle parked close by which they used for their escape.
“If anyone has any information that may be able to assist our investigation then please email us on – herefordrn.snt@westmercia.police.uk quoting crime number 00051_I_16022023.
“Please check your outbuildings and make sure that they are locked up and are as secure as they possibly can be.
“We would always advise to have a good security light in the vicinity of any outbuildings that will alert you to any movement that is occurring in that area.
“This can also be a deterrent to the offender if a light suddenly comes on…..is it recording? is it alerting the home owner? can people now see me? Any doubt to these questions can be enough to scare someone away.”
