Patrols are continuing in an area where several garages were broken into last month.
A CCTV image was released last week in connections with the burglaries in Maplehurst Close and Maplehurst Rise in St Leonards, which happened in the early hours of 27 October.
Police said today that day and night patrols are ongoing in the area.
Police Constable Charlotte Padgham said: “Burglaries are a crime that violate people’s places of safety and can leave them feeling vulnerable.
“We urge residents to take simple precautions to secure their garages and belongings.
“This includes using sturdy locks, ensuring any doors and windows are shut and secure, and removing items of significant value where possible. Motion-sensor lighting and CCTV can also act as effective deterrents.
“We are working diligently to investigate the recent reports, and encourage anyone with information or concerns to come forward.”
Enquiries are ongoing, and we ask anyone who has witnessed any suspicious behaviour, or who has information to assist the investigation to contact police.
You can do this online, or by calling 101 quoting reference 389 of 27/10.
