POLICE have issued a warning after receiving reports of attempted break-ins and thefts from vehicles.

Hardley Neighbourhood Policing Team says several incidents have occurred in the Hythe and Blackfield area.

Posting on social media they said: "Again it seems as though tools from work vans are being targeted.

"Please ensure they are locked away somewhere secure overnight and note down any serial numbers should they ever go missing.

"CCTV covering your driveway is a good safeguarding option, as well as a strong deterrent.

"Please report any suspicious vehicles or people you see out and about to the Hampshire Police website or 101, so that we can continue to build information on certain vehicles and people."
