"Please ensure your shed is securely locked, and wherever possible, keep high value items out of sight or stored in a more secure location.
"We’ve also received comments about off-road bikes and e-scooters. We completely understand the concern they cause, they’re not just a nuisance, but also a safety risk to the public.
