The first was reported at 03:32 BST on Wednesday, when raiders smashed a door at Boots in Queen Street, Market Rasen, and fled with “high-value perfume”.

Five minutes later, the Post Office in Gainsborough Road, Middle Rasen, was damaged, with cigarettes stolen.

At 03:47 BST, two men left the Post Office in Main Street, Normanby-by-Spital, after being disturbed.

Following the Middle Rasen burglary, a “dark coloured” Audi was seen leaving in the direction of Gainsborough, officers said.

Meanwhile, two men were seen driving away from the scene of the third incident in a black car. It was heading towards Lincoln on the A15, Lincolnshire Police said.

A force spokesperson said: “We are currently treating these incidents as linked, but we are keeping an open mind as our investigation progresses.”

Inquiries are continuing, they added.

We are appealing for anyone we have not yet spoken with who may have CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage which can help with our investigation to come forward.
