“All three men are currently at a local police station and will be questioned later.

“Fortunately this type of crime isn’t common, and whilst the investigation into residential burglaries is a priority, it must be stressed that we need assistance from our local communities to reduce incidents of this nature and identify those responsible.

“I’d advise house holders to be vigilant at all times, always ensure your property is locked and secured, particularly during this recent spate of warm weather where it may be tempting to leave windows and doors open, and if you see any suspicious behaviour contact police immediately.”

Anyone who has any information relating to the burglaries should contact police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
