And at one of them, the thieves – wearing medical masks – even tried to run over a witness.
In a post on social media, police said: “We are particularly interested in a silver Ford Mondeo possibly displaying a registration of HS04VXC or NG55FKD, but this may be changed by the occupants.
"The latter is a cloned number plate with the true vehicle being in Central Beds.
"This cloned car has been active around Cainhoe Golf Club in Beadlow, and has been seen in Husborne Crawley and in Caxton Gibbet in Cambridgeshire.

“If you see this car, please do not approach and call us on 101 or report it online. If a crime is in progress, then dial 999.”
Officers went on to say: “We are very keen for people to contact us if they see any suspicious behaviour of people waiting in a car or walking around observing parked cars and owners’ routines. Please take/remember as much detail as you can without putting yourself in harms way and call us or report online. We would rather know and check, than not be made aware at all.”
