Thieves are continuing to target private properties across the Magherafelt area in Co Derry to steal tools and garden equipment, police have warned.
Sheila Henderson, the Crime Prevention Officer for the area, is urging local residents to secure their property.
She said: “Always locked tools and equipment away in a garage or secure shed when you have finished working with them and when you are away from the house.
“It is not just the replacement costs, but also the inconvenience that many people will find frustrating.”
She said advice on any aspect of home or business security could be obtained from the community police officer contacting Magherafelt Police Station on the 101 non-emergency telephone number.
