At about 10.30pm on February 11, a site in Stocking Fen Road, Ramsey, was broken into with cable again being targeted.

A month later, on March 13, a man was captured on CCTV entering a site in Huntingdon Road, St Neots, but nothing was taken.

Five days later, on March 18, thieves attempted to steal fuel from a site in Potton Road, Abbotsley, but were unsuccessful.

The following day a second attempt was made in St Neots with three men seen breaking in, before they left empty handed.

PC Bradleigh Bucknell said: “We’re appealing to anyone who has information about these break ins to contact us.

“In addition to this, we’re asking people who live near Anglian Water sites to be extra vigilant and report any suspicious activity to us.”
