The first incident took place at industrial premises in Mackay Close where a shipping container was broken into and copper cable stolen about 11.30pm Thursday.
The intruder gained entry by grinding off a lock.
The next morning an alarm was activated at John Cootes Furniture about 1.30am when someone tried to force open a side door. However, entry wasn’t gained to the building.
Then on Sunday, an offender tried to jimmy open a roller door in the loading dock at Aldi about 3.15am. Police are hoping to speak to three males in regards to that incident.
Information regarding these incidents should be reported to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
