Householders are being urged to ensure that their sheds are secure after an early morning burglary.

Last month, officers urged residents to review the security for their outbuildings, sheds and garages after a spate of burglaries in the town.

Now, police have issued a further warning to take security steps after another burglary in the early hours.

Nothing appears to have been stolen in the latest break-in, but information is being sought by officers.

A police spokesman said: "A shed at a home in Royal Avenue was forced open in the early hours of this morning, Thursday, October 28, possibly between 12.30am and 3.25am, however nothing was stolen from inside.

"Can you help?"
