POLICE are warning residents in rural areas following reports of an attempted burglary.
A spokesman from Northumbria Police said a white Ford Transit van spotted across the North Tyne could be linked to an incident which saw two men allegedly attempt to break into a shed in Humshaugh on Friday morning.
Police also believe the van, which had green stickers on the back doors and a yellow light on top, was also spotted in the Otterburn and Elsdon areas on the same day.
Enquiries are ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting log 270 140619.
Meanwhile, police are also appealing for information after a quad bike was stolen from Kirkhaugh, near Alston.
Offenders gained entry to the garage of the property and stole a Honda ATV 420 between Thursday night and Friday morning.
Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting log 264 140619.
