In Hillsborough, a car window was smashed and a wallet was taken from the glove box on Middlewood Drive between Monday evening and Tuesday morning.

Inspector Colette Fitzgibbons from Sheffield North West LPT said: "We have had a number of burglaries.

"Please make sure that you report any suspicious behaviour to us. If there is not a crime in action you may not get an immediate response but you may have the piece of the jigsaw that we are missing. I have a good team working with me and sometimes we just need a well timed call to get a good result."

Anyone with any information about any of these incidents is urged to call police on 101.
