The Bude Police team have posted a warning on their Facebook page after several vehicle break-ins occurred in the Flexbury area last week.

Bude Police said: “We also know that there are many more that have not been reported.

“Please can we encourage you to report to police if your car has been entered and items stolen, either by telephone on 101, or reporting via the Devon and Cornwall Police website.

“The more that are reported means we can direct the appropriate resources to try to identify those responsible.

“Please can we also take the time to remind you all to ensure your cars are locked and nothing of value is left on show.”
