Gwent Police have set an appeal following a string of Monmouthshire burglaries. According to reports, six buildings, including barns, sheds and stables have been broken into in the Raglan and Monmouth areas.

These burglaries reportedly happened on Sunday March, 26 and Monday March, 27.

Items that were stolen included: power tools (including a chainsaw, a strimmer, a metal detector and a brush cutter), tractor batteries, chickens and chicken feed.
