Police have had a report of some suspicious activity in the Dagnall Gardens area of Bakewell.

In the early hours of this morning someone has been trying doors in the area.  An occupier has turned on an inside light and the person has quickly left and no entry gained.  

Also weekend there was an incident at the top of Burton Close Drive, Bakewell where a summerhouse has been damaged to gain entry - nothing taken.  

These incidents are worrying and upsetting for the people involved and cause the community to be unsettled.
