Police urge vigilance after wave of shed break-ins in Flintshire

Police have issued a warning to residents in Holywell and Greenfield following a series of shed break-ins over recent weeks.

Residents are being encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police immediately.

The police added:

“We urge you to check any sheds / outbuildings for their security. The incidents have been in the very early hours of the morning and there have been a number of garden tools / power tools and bikes stolen.

Please remain vigilant, and if you notice any suspicious behaviour in the early hours please contact us as a matter of urgency.”
