Villagers in West Felton are being urged to report any suspicious activity following a spate of vehicle crime.
Four vehicles were broken into over Sunday night into yesterday morning with property worth more than £1,500 stolen.

Two of the breakins were in Wheatlands and the other two in Alma Close. Police are urging residents to get in touch if they saw anything suspicious which may be linked to the crimes.
A full set of golf clubs valued at £1,000 was taken from the passenger footwell of a white Mitsubishi pick-up in Wheatlands between 5.30pm Sunday and 7am yesterday. At about the same time, a sat-nav charger was grabbed from a blue Volkswagen Caddy van in the same street.

A Mamo pushchair worth £30 and a Halfords child's car seat valued at £110 were taken from a Vauxhall Corsa on a drive and a Dell lap top worth £400 was stolen from the boot of a black Audi parked on the road at a neighbouring property.
