Bikes, electronic equipment and even food has been stolen during a spate of thefts in the Kingswells area of Aberdeen.
Thieves targeted the Clova Park and Broaddykes Place area between Monday and Tuesday.
Two mountain bikes worth hundreds of pounds were taken from an unlocked garage at Clova Park between midnight and 6am on Tuesday.
One is a gent’s Carrera Vengeance, and the other a ladies Giant LivRov 3.
A Nikon satnav was also taken from an insecure car on the same street between 4.45pm on Monday and 8.30am on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, another property at Broaddykes Place was entered at around 4am on Tuesday where a “small amount” of food was taken.
Constable Peter Armitage, who is leading the investigation, has appealed for anyone with information about any of the sneak-in thefts to come forward.
He also urged the public to ensure their doors are locked at all times to not give thieves a chance.
He said: “It only takes a few minutes – sometimes seconds – to enter your home, car or garage to steal valuables. The results, however, can cause immeasurable distress.
“I would urge people to ensure their doors are locked even when they are home, and to keep expensive equipment from view.
“Please do not take the security of your belongings for granted.”
Anyone with information should call 101.
