The spokesperson said they do not have a report about the most recent alleged incident, on November 5, on the force's system. These reports come as a spate of break-ins and attempted break-ins have taken place in the area.

King's Hedges Road is one mile from Arbury Court, which has seen two hair salons and a Chinese restaurant targeted in recent days.
