“We are appealing to the public who may have witnessed suspicious activity on the dates specified to get in contact. 
“We are particularly interested in reviewing any dashcam footage from those dates as people may have unknowingly captured offenders or their vehicles.
“The majority of the offences happen during the hours of darkness, curtain-side lorries are being targeted and large quantities of property are being stolen as well as and tools from commercial work vans.” 
Please can all dashcam footage be forwarded to [email protected]
You can also provide information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

“Always call 999 in an emergency. It’s an emergency when a crime is being or about to be committed, there’s a risk of injury, or there’s a risk of serious damage to property.
“If it isn’t an emergency call 101”
