POLICE in Runnymede are urging boat owners in Chertsey not to leave valuables on their crafts after a series of break ins over the Christmas period.

Moored boats make an attractive target for thieves as they are often unoccupied and now police are hoping the owners will help them to lower the rate of thefts.

Last month officers have received reports of four incidents involving boats moored off Bridge Road, which all took place between 6pm and 8.30pm on Monday, December 20.

A GROUP of thieves stole £150 worth of camping equipment from a shed in Chertsey before setting up tent and staying overnight in Gogmore Farm Park.

The offenders, who are believed to have broken in overnight on Saturday, October 9, took a tent and several sleeping bags from the residential property in St Anne's Road.

They then reportedly walked down a path parallel to Twynersh Avenue to the park, where they set up a camp site for the night. The equipment was found by police alongside a number of empty beer cans.

It was the third shed theft in the past two-and-a-half years at the home of retired firefighter Michael Murphy. In the two previous break ins, more than £4,000 worth of fishing equipment was stolen.
