Reports of multiple connected break and enters are prompting the Swift Current City RCMP to give some tips on how to prevent them in the future.

The police service says that multiple sheds have been broken into and had bikes stolen from them on Monday and Tuesday nights.

The culprit or culprits of the action is suspected of having then taken one stolen bike to another shed, which they then left at the scene of the crime after finding another bike to take.

The incidents occurred in the Hillcrest and Highland neighbourhoods.

Police say that keeping all property secure inside or outside, keeping your yard well lit, as well as locking all external buildings can help prevent similar crimes in the future.
