The search for a man after a suspicious incident in a Peak District village is underway – with residents being warned to secure their homes.

At around 2.00am on Monday, November 20, a male was seen trying to open the doors of several vehicles parked on Main Road, Grindleford.

He then got into a black saloon-type vehicle with two other people inside, which drive off in the direction of the Longshaw Estate.

A Bakewell and Hathersage Safer Neighbourhood Team spokesperson said: “There have been several burglaries across the area recently, and while there is nothing to suggest that this incident is linked at this time, we would ask all residents to be mindful of their home security and to report any suspicious incidents or persons.”

Anyone with information is urged to come forward.
