Thieves in balaclavas broke into Cheltenham properties stealing items and fleeing. Police investigate.

Three robberies hit East Approach Drive. One more occurred on Broad Acre Road. They stole five bikes from different spots. Other items were tossed nearby.
CCTV caught them near Pittville Park. The trio wore balaclavas and hoods. They broke locks at every place. The group might have used a crowbar.
Cops think Cheltenham thefts connect. But, they aren’t Cotswolds related thefts, right? Gloucestershire Police asked door to door. They want witnesses to speak up with report 51.
Report suspicious activity. Police want people to stay alert. They should watch for slow-driving vehicles. These vehicles could be scoping properties.
