With the colder weather setting in and shorter days people are less likely to be in their garden leaving places like sheds and garages more vulnerable to thieves.

Local policing commander for Diss, Insp Mike Britton, said: At this time of year sheds and garages are targeted due to the fact they are not used as much.

I would advise local residents to make sure they keep sheds and garages locked and secure and to also check them regularly.

Other crime prevention tips include:

Ideally store high value items inside the home

Use a padlock and chain to secure items such a lawn mowers to a heavy anchor
