HOUSEHOLDERS are being warned to be on their guard in Coleford after a trio of suspected attempted break-ins in one night.

Residents are being urged to review their security following the

incidents early last Thursday morning (November 16).

The annex and garage door of a house were damaged in Victoria Road, while the lock on a summer house was removed from a garden on the same road.

A gate alarm was also activated in Staunton Road at around 3.15am, which appears to have put the would-be burglar off.

If anyone has any information about these incidents or saw any suspicious activity call Gloucestershire Police on 101 or email [email protected] and quote incident 86 of 16 November.
