Avon and Somerset Police in Bath and Frome are investigating two burglaries at sports clubs in which a large amount of cash was stolen.
They believe the break-ins at Walcot rugby club in Lansdown and Frome football club in Berkley Road are connected.
The Walcot burglary happened at around 1.30am on Sunday. Thieves in a vehicle drove over the rugby pitches, forced their way into the clubhouse and stole a safe.
They then drove to a wooded area, forced open the safe and stole the money inside.
It’s believed they then drove back over the grounds and onto Lansdown Road.
The Frome burglary was on Monday 15th September at around 1.30am.
Offenders, possibly again using a vehicle, forced some side doors and stole a safe and cash tills from an inside store cupboard.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have any information, or who may have seen people in a vehicle near the sports clubs early in the morning, to contact them on 101 quoting crime reference number 95182/14.
