Advice:
Deeside Neighbourhood Policing Team are asking members of the public to be vigilant with their shed security following a spate of shed break ins and theft of pedal cycles in the Shotton area
Sheds are an easy target for thieves; they often contain £400-500 worth of property such as bikes, power tools, garden tools, garden furniture, lawnmowers etc. Even if there’s nothing of value stored in your shed, spades, screwdrivers and other simple tools can be used to break into your home.
