The offenders forced their way in but at this stage it is not thought that anything was taken.
Police said many sheds including those on allotments ‘fell short’ on basic security and urged allotment holders to use tamper proof screws and ensure all tools and equipment are locked away when they are not being used.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
