"Make sure your sheds and other outbuildings are secure," is the message from the police to residents of Chagford, after a recent spate of thefts. Strimmers, power washers and garden equipment have been common targets.

How secure is your garden shed?
Nothing, it seems, is safe. Not only was copper piping stolen from a unit on the Crannafords Industrial Estate on the edge of the town but the thieves also took a wheelie bin to carry away their loot!
In another incident, a selection of Victorian china and gold items were taken from a garden shed where they were being stored: they are clearly identifiable to the owners.
If anyone has information about these thefts, the person to contact is PC Nadine Wilson at Okehampton Police Station - Telephone 08452 777444
Crimestoppers will give you advice on reporting crime and keping secure
