Police are appealing for information and asking people to be vigilant after a series of burglaries at Anglian Water sites in Cambridgeshire.

The break ins have happened at sites from November until 19 March, with detectives linking the offences.

Included in the offences are an incident at about 5am on 17 November, where thieves broke into a site in Third Drove, Fengate, Peterborough, and stole cable.

At about 10.30pm on 11 February, a site in Stocking Fen Road, Ramsey, was broken into with cable again being targeted.

A month later, on 13 March, a man was captured on CCTV entering a site in Huntingdon Road, St Neots, but nothing was taken.

Five days later, on 18 March, thieves attempted to steal fuel from a site in Potton Road, Abbotsley, but were unsuccessful.

The following day a second attempt was made in St Neots with three men seen breaking in, before they left empty handed.

PC Bradleigh Bucknell said: “We’re appealing to anyone who has information about these break ins to contact us.

“In addition to this, we’re asking people who live near Anglian Water sites to be extra vigilant and report any suspicious activity to us.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police via Cambridgeshire Constabulary's website using reference 35/83406/24, or you can call 101.
