New Sector Insp Nick Water said: "Some other areas of Lincolnshire have since seen some thefts from vans and we believe the offenders are travelling to different areas and targeting that area for that night.

"Tools, particularly battery operated power tools are being taken.

"We are asking people to be vigilant and where possible remove tools from their vans overnight, which is when these offences have been occurring.

"We would appeal for anybody who sees any suspicious behaviour around such vehicles to call police on 101 or if it is a crime in progress on 999."

Last week, contractor Thomas Holmes told how his family had lost out on a total of £4,000 in income after thieves stole tools from his van in Spalding which prevented him from working for a number of days.
