VILLAGERS in Heighington have been warned to be on their guard against sneak thieves during the summer.
Police say that with many people spending time in their gardens, items which are attractive to thieves could be left unattended.
These include tools, lawnmowers, bikes and garden furniture taken from garages and sheds.
Heighington village police officer, PC Julian Brown, warned residents: "Opportunist thieves need only a few seconds so don't give them the opportunity.
"This is also the time of year when they will risk sneaking into your home while doors and windows are left open, in the hope of grabbing money or valuables."
