CHAPMANSLADE Parish Council is urging residents to be vigilant after a spate of burglaries in the village.
Last week, there were four reports of burglaries or attempted burglaries in the village, with items including a strimmer and bike helmet being stolen.
Chairman Phil Jefferson said: “It concerns us as it’s a spate and not just an isolated incident.
“We have sent an e-mail around to residents and have asked them to keep an eye out."
To report an incident, call Wiltshire Police on 101.

A bike helmet and security light were stolen from a garage in Huntenhull Farm between 11pm on Sunday, June 26 and 8am on Monday, June 27.
The padlock of a shed was broken off in High Street and a strimmer, safety goggles and protective hearing headphones were stolen between 8am on Thursday, June 23 and 9pm on Tuesday, June 28.
A can of petrol was stolen from a shed in the High Street after a shed padlock was forced off between 10.30pm on Friday, July 1 and 8am on Saturday, July 2.
