A series of burglaries reported in three areas of north Devon are believed to be linked, police have said.

Devon and Cornwall Police said break-ins were reported in Woolacombe and Mortehoe on 24 and 25 March, while further burglaries were reported in Braunton between 29 and 31 March.

Police said items stolen from the properties included cash, a roof rack and garden tools.

The force asked anyone with information to get in touch with them.

Officers advised residents in the targeted areas to secure their properties and lock their doors at night.

The force said the burglaries were reported at a mix of residential and commercial premises.

Sgt Malc Kirk said: "I would urge the public to be extra vigilant in securing their premises.

"If you have seen any suspicious behaviour or have been a victim of an offence and not yet reported it, please get in touch with us."

Anyone with CCTV, dashcam or door bell video footage of any of the incidents was asked to contact police.
