Rural Burglaries

There have unfortunately been a spate of rural burglaries within the Ellesmere policing area over the past 2 weeks.

These incidents have mostly been concentrated on rural businesses / Farms, but entry has been gained to the residential properties at a few of the locations.

Items that have been stolen include tools and equipment, generally items that can be carried or easily transported.

Could I please take this opportunity to ask you to be extra vigilant and if you have any information relating to these incidents, please make us aware as there are currently ongoing investigations.
