“We are now conducting a number of enquiries, including identifying any CCTV and speaking to householders in the area who may have seen or heard something.
“I would ask anyone who saw something suspicious in the Canford Cliffs area to get in touch. For example, did you see a person or group of people running at around half-past midnight or a car driving at speed?”
“If you have private CCTV on your home or business, I would also ask you to check any footage around this time and let us know if you see anything unusual”.
