Five sheds and stables were burgled in the space of three days in Bratton, near Westbury, between June 3-5.

Three chainsaws, two compressors and a generator were stolen in the early hours of June 4 from a shed in the garden of a house in Lower Road, with the thieves opening bolted gates at the back of the property.

Entry was also gained to a shed in Court Lane and a stable tack room in Castle Road overnight on June 3 when the padlocks were cut, but no items were stolen.

Two further incidents took place at stables and a shed in Castle Road, with the locks damaged and a Stihl strimmer stolen from the shed.

Inspector Alan Webb said two people were arrested for similar offences last week and he appealed for help in solving the latest crimes.
