A man has been arrested in connection with three burglaries in Dronfield.
The incidents, two in Gosforth Crescent and another in Chesterfield Grove, all took place on 18 December.
The 30-year-old man, who is from Sheffield, was arrested and released on police bail while enquiries continue into the incidents.
Following a number of burglaries in the Dronfield area at the end of 2021 a dedicated policing operation was put in place which drafted in resources from across the north-east of the county and saw high-visibility and plain clothes patrols undertaken.
Detective Inspector Steve Topham said: “Myself and my officers are keenly aware of the huge impact that a burglary can have on victims.
“To have the safety of home taken from you can leave people feeling incredibly vulnerable - and as a force we work hard to ensure that those responsible for such crimes are brought to justice.
“Many crimes are opportunistic and, by taking just a few precautions, homeowners can make their properties a far less desirable target for criminals.”
