Sergeant Matthew Deveney said: “I’m appealing for anyone who believes they have seen anyone acting suspiciously in these areas to please get in touch as you may have information that could help us to identify those responsible for these burglaries. 

“While our enquiries are on-going to arrest the offenders we are increasing our patrols of local shopping areas. 

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to urge local business owners to remain vigilant and consider reviewing their own security to help reduce the chances of becoming a victim of crime. If you need advice regarding this you can contact your local PCSO.

“Business owners may also want to consider signing up to Hertfordshire’s Business Watch – a partnership between police, businesses and other agencies to reduce crime and help keep businesses safe and secure. For more information please visit herts.police.uk/Protectyourbusiness.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Hertfordshire Constabulary by calling the non-emergency number 101, quoting the relevant crime reference or report information online at herts.police.uk/Report.

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or submit details via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
