All three incidents took place earlier this week.

Suffolk Constabulary are appealing for witnesses after the theft of tools from vehicles in Claydon.

The first incident took place on Ipswich Road on January 22 at around 9.25pm. The rear window of an Isuzu D-Max pick up truck was smashed and a power drill was stolen.

A second incident on Ipswich Road took place at some point between 7pm on January 22 and 6.15am on January 23 when a number of power tools were taken from a Ford Transit van.

A third incident took place between 5.30pm on January 22 and 5.50 am on January 23 on Lincoln Gardens.

Offenders are said to have forced entry to a Nissan Navara pick-up truck and then stole a chainsaw, a drill set and other tools.

Officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have noticed any unusual activity in the area or any suspicious vehicles.

Police are urging motorists to lock their cars and to remove all valuables, wherever the vehicle is parked.
