POLICE are asking residents to be extra vigilant in the Bromyard area following a number of shed break-ins.
The most recent were carried out in the Stoke Prior area by The Lamb pub and the church.
The break-ins have been similar as the sheds have been away from the homes and adjacent to fields, footpaths and open spaces.
Officers are asking residents to store any strimmers or lawn mowers in outbuildings next to their house, use sheds further away for less valuable items, use a property marker and to lock items away.
PCSO Steph Annette from Bromyard Police Station said: "We have now seen this type of theft in Bodenham, Bromyard and now Stoke Prior, so it is possible the same offenders are moving around our area.
"Please be extra vigilant in your community and report any suspicious behaviour and vehicles to us on 101."
